エジプトとの国交断絶にいたるまでの中華民国政府による報道について : 中国国民党機関紙『中央日報』を用いて

This paper examines the period from the late 1930s to the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the Egyptian and ROC governments in 1956 using the Kuomintang’s (KMT’s) official newspaper, the Central Daily News. Changes in the media coverage of diplomatic relations between Egypt and the ROC government were analyzed. The analysis was of the period after the establishment of the Egyptian consulate in Cairo in 1934 to after the ROC government’s transfer of power from the mainland to Taiwan in 1949. The report also analyzed the Central Daily News coverage of the ROC government’s cessation of diplomatic relations with Egypt, comparing it with other newspapers. During the severance of diplomatic relations between the ROC government and Egypt in 1956, the Central Daily News did not urge the ROC government to reconsider its foreign policy before the rupture or report on the imminent threat of a split, unlike other privately owned newspapers. This study concludes that this was a sign of the ROC government’s defensive stance in its policy toward Egypt. Moreover, the newspaper intended to avoid provoking public criticism in Taiwan by withholding unnecessary information from the public

The Development of China's Diplomacy with Egypt: Focusing on the Propaganda in the People's Daily

This paper examines the propaganda coverage of Egypt in China, focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. Originally, Egypt had friendly relations with the Nationalist Government at Nanjing, establishing a consulate there in 1934 and diplomatic relations with it in 1948, which continued even after the National Government shifted to Taiwan. However, in June 1956, Egypt broke off relations with Taiwan and established diplomatic relations with China. The establishment of diplomatic relations with Egypt provided an important opportunity to establish diplomatic ties with countries in Africa and the Middle East. Since then, several countries, especially in the Third World, have established diplomatic relations with China. In this sense, the establishment of diplomatic relations with Egypt has a groundbreaking significance for China; however, it has not been sufficiently examined in previous studies. Therefore, this study delved into the details of the Chinese government's coverage of Egypt, mainly using People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party
