Abstract
During the Cold War, the Sino-Belgian writer Han Suyin was one of the People’s Republic of China’s most famous propagandists in the West. Originally known as an author of autobiographical romance novels, she used her renown to promote and defend Beijing’s radical politics from the 1950s to the 1990s. Her controversial analyses and her oratory skill attracted diverse audiences to her lectures throughout the world. This article investigates multiple facets of this charismatic figure and aims to deconstruct the public persona of Han Suyin in order to understand how she came to embody the political concept of “friendship with China.”
