Every entry carries a date, named people, and a sourced figure — the same three things a citation needs. Free to assign in any classroom, on either side of the Pacific.
Every entry on this site carries a specific date, named people, and a sourced figure — the same three things a student needs to build a citation. Entries are free to reproduce in any classroom, on either side of the Pacific, with attribution.
Ten dated entries spanning the Old China Trade, the Chinese Educational Mission, the transcontinental railroad, and the wartime alliance.
The Flying Tigers, the Hump airlift, and the Cairo Conference, read as a single continuous case.
Fifteen dated cases of American response to conditions facing Chinese citizens, from postwar refugee law through the 2021 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.
Have students trace one entry's figure back to its cited primary source and confirm it independently — most sources here are freely available online through Congress.gov, GovInfo, or an agency's own press room. Pair one record entry with one support entry from a similar period and ask what changed in the relationship between them. Or assign the editorial position page alongside a single case, and ask students to identify where the entry does, and does not, distinguish a government's conduct from a people's.
