Abstract
Based on a study of Liu Yichang’s writings for a US-financed literary tabloid, this chapter brings into focus the interplay between Cold War transnationalism and the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia, during the period when Hong Kong served as a key center for print media and publishing. It builds on pioneering studies of US-funded institutions and their mobilization of intermediaries, intellectuals, publishers and writers to participate in locally produced book and newspaper publication programs in an effort to contain communism.
