Description
China alone fills Volume VII for 1947, and the story is civil war. Month-by-month sections track Communist offensives in Manchuria and the strain on Nationalist forces. Liaison teams were expelled, and talks stayed dead.
Reports from Formosa record anger at mainland rule. The Wedemeyer mission appraised the whole scene that summer. Arms aid, the lifted embargo, and naval transfers fill the later papers. Dairen, Sinkiang, and Tibet each get sections. The cables show a government losing ground while its main backer weighed how much more to give. Consular staff safety drew attention as cities changed hands.
