"China Handbook 1956-1957," published by the China Publishing Company in Taipei, Taiwan, is a reference work that provides a detailed overview of Taiwan during the specified period. It likely covers various aspects of the island's political system, economic development, social conditions, cultural activities, and international relations. Given the political context of the time, the handbook would present the perspective of the Republic of China government on Taiwan's progress and its stance on the complex political situation with mainland China. This publication serves as a valuable primary source for understanding Taiwan's development and self-representation during the mid-1950s.
The China Handbook Editorial Board, responsible for compiling and publishing this handbook, played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating information about Taiwan's development. Their achievement lies in producing a structured and informative annual record that aimed to provide a clear and authoritative portrayal of the island. The board's work contributed to shaping the understanding of Taiwan's situation and its progress, particularly for an English-speaking audience. While the specific individuals on the board may not be widely known, their collective effort in producing this publication makes them important contributors to the historical record of Taiwan in 1956-1957.
