From 1951 to 1965, the Republic of China received approximately one hundred million U.S. dollars per year from Washington — a total of US$1.48 billion in American aid — which not only stabilized agricultural and industrial development but guided long-term economic growth. American aid was, in those years, an invisible hand behind Taiwan’s economic miracle. Yet the propaganda materials and journals published or sponsored by the U.S. Information Service in Taipei (such as Wénxué Zázhì and Xiàndài Wénxué) also functioned within the postwar cultural Cold War framework as a form of anti-communist political propaganda directed at ethnic Chinese intellectuals across Southeast Asia.
