The Transnational Entanglement of Public Opinion and Intelligence ： The Sino-American News Agency between China and the United States during the May Fourth Period

Abstract：During the late Qing and Republican periods，foreign news agencies in China possessed both national and transnational characteristics；they served not only as platforms for opinion expression but also as intelligence agencies. The four developmental stages of the Sino-American News Agency （Chun/Chung Mei News Agency） from its establishment in 1918 to its dissolution in 1928 on the surface，saw the change of the main operators from Americans to Chinese. In fact，However，in practice，this transition oscilated betwee China and the United States， between government and private sectors，reflecting the intricate transnational dynamics of interactions between various forces in both countries. The agency not only served the interests of the U.S. government but also penetrated by the ranks of the Kuomintang and provided international inteligence to the Beiyang government. It represented both the strategic deployment of Chinese elites by foreign powers and the proactive eforts of China's complex political factions to conduct targeted propaganda through foreign communication agencies in order to influence the political landscape， acquire international inteligence，and refine both domestic and foreign policies. The Sino-American News Agency has created intricate and evolving entanglements of interests and identities between China and the United States，intertwining intelligence with public opinions. Its“twin city”operations in Beijing and Shanghai，along with the information flow linking China and the outside world，played a significant role in the domestic political situation and Beiyang diplomacy before and after the May Fourth Movement.
