'China (seen from the direction of Guam)—Chung Hua Min Kuo—Central Flower Republican Counry'
Richard Edes Harrison, China: Chung Hua Min Kuo, “seen from the direction of Guam”, published April 1941. Harrison’s oblique, colour relief view makes China legible as a wartime theatre rather than a remote abstraction. Looking westward from its Pacific approaches, he shows the coastal zones under Japanese occupation, the rivers, mountains and interior routes by which China’s resistance survived, and the precarious supply lines entering through Burma, the USSR and southern ports. The inset on university migration underlines that the war had displaced not only armies but China’s intellectual life. Harrison’s message is strategic and moral: geography explains China’s endurance. Invaded China has retreated inland, but its vast terrain, dispersed people, guerrillas and improvised military communications keep it fighting and challenging Japanese occupation
