not, a lonely experience. Many hours each day, for several years were spent huddled with texts of various kinds. Those times I was not quietly pouring over written texts, I spend talking to myself, verbalizing my ideas in an attempt to wrap my head around the vast amount of information in which I had submerged myself. There was little intellectual strength left at the end of the day for much else. Unkempt and intellectually strained of my own accord, I depended on many people a great deal to keep me afloat. Three and a half years ago I asked my wife, Kotomi, to return with me to Japan so that I could pursue a PhD. This required me leaving a good job in Washington, D.C. and a community of friends and family. She agreed without hesitation and we left for Japan in short order. Immediately after arriving, we discovered we were expecting our first child, my son Kyonosuke. My ability to accomplish the trying and demanding task of writing my PhD dissertation was primarily possible through the love and support of my family. Kyonosuke’s youthful innocence and hunger for loving engagement, maintained within me a northern star of sorts, reminding me of my goal and purpose. Additionally, Kotomi did so much for me, from giving me space and time, to helping me keep myself on a production schedule. Her contribution to this accomplishment deserves my deepest gratitude. Balancing both family and academic life was never easy. I was fortunate, however, and had little trouble. I am indebted, for things beyond just the completion of this dissertation, to my parents, Gloria and Stephen, who consistently supported Kotomi and I through this journey. They both made the long and difficult trip from Austin, Texas viii to Beppu to help with caring for Kyonosuke and making it possible for us to balance our work and daily lives. My mother in particular, came several times, for months at a time. The sacrifices they made, being separated from each other and giving up countless opportunities to do other things in order to help me, is forever marked on my heart. Apart from my home life, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University became my home away from home. Both the faculty and staff were immensely supportive, and each made every effort to accommodate not only my academic needs, but also provided support beyond the defined parameters of the program. From among the staff at APU, I would like to personally thank Belinda Hall of the Academic Office and Jun Tau of the Research Office, both for their consistent and patient support with all of my questions and for serving as my guides through the various administrative and logistical details central to the completion of my PhD studies and dissertation writing. From among the faculty I would like to specifically give thanks to Professor Robert Salazar and Professor Yoichiro Sato. Both Professor Salazar and Professor Sato patiently and respectfully served informally as my mentors, providing advice on issues ranging from research methodology to publication opportunities. Both consistently made time for my questions despite their busy schedules, and despite their having no responsibility to do so. For that I am deeply appreciative. Beyond the personal support, there was a host of material produced by other scholars and institutions that made this dissertation possible, all of whom are cited with each deserving of acknowledgment and thanks. The Wilson Center’s Digital Archive in particular, however, was by far the most valuable source of primary material for the historical research I used. The ability to access both Chinese and Soviet documents ix related to Chinese foreign relations, all online and with the vast majority having been translated into English, really made this research possible. Similarly, the Computer Assisted Textual Markup and Analysis (CATMA) tool contributed greatly to the execution of this research. This online open-source analysis tool is currently housed at the University of Hamburg in Germany. The hard work of the CATMA team in maintaining and improving this online tool was central to this research’s ability to analyze, with a heightened degree of accuracy, 15 volumes of selected works of Chinese leaders from Mao Zedong to Jiang Zemin. CATMA is a remarkable tool, and I am indebted to the CATMA team for their product. Finally, I would like to close with the highest thanks to two individuals, Professor Susumu Yamagami and Dr. Edgar Porter. For any PhD student, their academic advisor is by far the most important relationship they will develop during their studies. For me, I was lucky enough to have the care and advice of two individuals who were not only knowledgeable about by research, but cared very deeply that I was successful in completing my studies. Dr. Porter served as my primary advisor until his retirement in 2015. Despite his return to the United States, he continued to give my research a level of attention that makes any expression of gratitude here, inadequate. Likewise, Professor Yamagami, upon Dr. Porter’s retirement, quickly took me under his wing, reading every word of every draft I provided and providing guidance and comments that were respectful of the work I had already done, but worthy of the ultimate goal of rigor, accuracy, and clarity. Though the work presented in this dissertation was possible through the kindness and contributions given to me over the past several years, ultimately the ideas and x
