摘要
一战结束后,针对巴黎和会对中国的不公决议,关心祖国命运的华人读者通过《纽约时报》的“读者来信”栏目,就山东问题与日方支持者论战,揭露日本伪善面目并为中国拒签之举辩护。这些华人的读者来信,不仅向国际社会表达了中国的合理诉求,同时也以确凿的事实、专业的知识、理性的论述阐释了和会决议对中国国家主权造成的侵害,阐发国人力争国家主权、维护民族尊严的主张,彰显出中国日益觉醒的民族主义新面貌。虽然中国在巴黎和会的外交遭遇了挫折,但是这些来信,在一定程度上为中国争取了国际社会主流舆论的支持,为华盛顿会议上中国收回山东主权奠定了舆论基础,创造了有利的舆论环境。
Following the unequal Treaty of Versailles imposed on China at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919,Chinese readers wrote numerous letters to the editor of the The New York Times to defend Chinese sovereignty over the Shandong Peninsula and debate with westerners who supported the Japanese stance.Presenting concrete evidence and specialized knowledge in an argumentative style,these letters explicated the harm caused by the treaty to China and advocated for Chinese national interests and rights,manifesting the rise of Chinese nationalism in a new era.Despite the failure of Chinese diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference,Chinese intellectuals’letters enabled China to gain warm support from a wider international community,which might have contributed to a groundswell of international public opinion assisting China to reclaim sovereignty over Shandong at the Washington Conference in 1922.
