SINO-VIETNAMESE WAR.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Xinhua News Agency propaganda exhibit toolkit. First edition, first printing, unrecorded institutionally and uncommon in commerce with the original envelope, of this pack of materials for cadres to stage pop-up anti-Vietnam exhibitions in workplaces and community spaces.Small displays addressing current domestic and international issues were everyday sights in 1970s China. Issuing pre-made sets minimized the risk of overworked local officials preparing their own propaganda in a hurry and inadvertently deviating from the "party line".The present example includes 14 evocative images including of displaced overseas Chinese forced to leave Vietnam, people injured by the army, contested territory along the Sino-Vietnamese border, and an injured Chinese soldier undergoing surgery.
