Mozambique “switched from a pro-Chinese to a pro-Soviet stance during the Angolan civil war,” writes a commentator in the influential U.S. quarterly Foreign Policy of Fall 1977. “Mozambique said to Cool on Soviets, Turn West,” headlines a Washington Post dispatch of December 15, 1977. The Economist’s Foreign Report claims in its advertising to have been the first to describe the ideological infighting within FRELIMO and the swing to Russia. The commentators seemed to have missed Mozambique’s 1977 trade fair in September, at which the People’s Republic of China won first prize for an exhibit corresponding to Mozambique’s needs, but if they had been there one might well have seen headlines proclaiming Mozambique’s shift back to China.

On 1 October 1949 the People's Republic of China was formally established in Beijing. On 7 December Chiang Kai-shek (Jiang Jieshi), who had earlier moved to Taiwan to secure a final base of resistance in the civil war, ordered the Kuomintang (KMT) regime to withdraw to the island from Chengdu, Sichuan, its last seat on the mainland. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) declared its commitment to the goal of unifying the nation under the People's Republic, and thus called for the “liberation” of Taiwan. Although Taiwan represented the final phase of the still unfinished civil war, it was the strategic significance of the island that became of paramount concern to the CCP, the KMT and the United States.

Thearticle is devoted to the problem of mastering by students from the People’s Republic of China the classical harmony as the basic section of the most important musical­theoretical discipline. It identifies the causes of difficulties appearing in this process. They are related to the peculiarities of the interpretation of the category “harmony” in Chinese musicology. Due to the civilizational features reflected in the language and cultural traditions of China, the aesthetic meaning of this concept is considered in isolation from the technological and educational­academic, which are of priority importance. In the civilizational aspect, classical harmony is a product of the European worldview and is inseparable from the professional composer creativity of the European tradition (“opus music”). The cultural and typological features of the latter are far from the traditional musical culture of China, and in many ways even opposed to it. The priority of the individual principle, the high level of creative freedom combined with personal responsibility for the result, and the connection with the institution of the Christian church are little understood by Chinese students. Difficulties in the development by students of the PRC of classical harmony are caused not only by the specifics of the tonal type mode, European forms of multi voiced texture and chord thinking, but also by the inextricably linked three­dimensionality of the artistic space and the special function of the melody in the artistic whole. In the intonational aspect, classical harmony for students of the PRC is an element of the content of music education, not directly related to the past, present, or future of the native national culture. The study of classical harmony is necessary for Chinese students to understand the Western musical tradition as a manifestation of a different ethnotype of intonation in the context of self­realization of the peoples inhabiting a great country in the modern world cultural space of the era of globalization.

The Chinese Civil War and the advent of the People’s Republic of China represented a profound challenge to the international legitimacy of the Republic of China, now on Taiwan. This chapter chronicles the efforts by ROC ambassador Feng-shan Ho to cultivate a relationship with Chinese Mexicans to present a positive image of the ROC and encourage the Mexican government to maintain diplomatic relations. This especially took place during the annual pilgrimage to the Basílica de Guadalupe and the Chinese Mexican response to the 1963 Economic and Commercial Exposition of the People’s Republic of China. Chinese Mexicans, far from being tools of the Republic of China, used such instances of public diplomacy to enhance their own image.

The article discusses the stages of the formation of the methodological system of teaching classical harmony in the People’s Republic of China. Analysis of the historical reveals the peculiarities and problems of teaching this section of the corresponding academic discipline, established in the national system of musical and musical-pedagogical education. The internal logic of this process is determined by the following parameters: the nature of the correlation of foreign experience with national characteristics and the presence (or opportunity) of other modules in the structure of the training course. On this basis, seven periods of the history of the teaching of classical harmony in China’s music education were identified and analyzed: 1842–1911 (formation of prerequisites); 1912–1926 (accumulation of primary empirical experience); 1927–1951 (methodic model of the Shanghai Conservatory); 1952–1965 (introduction of the Soviet pedagogical paradigm); 1966–1976 (crowding out foreign artistic influences and values from the cultural space); 1977–1997 (restoration of the Soviet methodic model against the backdrop of the adoption in art practice of modern forms of “Western” music and the national style based on pentatonic; 1998 - up to now (reforming the system of teaching harmony).

The authors examine the actions and motivations of the Japanese who remained in China following Japan's surrender in August 1945. A large part of the Japanese Army in China became involved in the civil war there, and it appears that both sides, but especially the Nationalists, benefited from Japanese assistance. Although frequently the victims of circumstance, the Japanese also deliberately intervened in the fighting in the hope of continuing to influence the course of events in China. Such involvement may have significantly affected Japan's subsequent relationship with both the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Nationalists on Taiwan.
