亨利·卢斯对于20世纪前半期中美关系的影响在主流的研究视角中没有得到应有的重视。他得以成为中美关系史上的重要人物确非偶然。这是一位典型的美国至上主义者,有着深刻的宗教背景,特殊的中国情结,控制着一个影响非凡的舆论王国。他坚信美国正面临着承担一个强国的使命,因此有义务在全球范围内展现它的政治、经济和文化影响,而中国则是一片理想的试验田,一个美国化中国的出现,将是美国完成其强国使命的有力证明,“中美相似论”正是为了实现这一“强国梦想”而精心设计出来的。在亨利·卢斯控制时代公司的20多年里,“中美相似论”帮助塑造了美国主流的中国印象与舆论,从而形成了一种对于政府决策的公众压力。
The impact of Henry Luce on Sino-U.S. Relations in the first half of the 20th century did not get the attention it deserved in the mainstream research perspective. It is no coincidence that he has become an important figure in the history of Sino-American relations. This is a typical American supremacist who has a profound religious background, a special Chinese complex and controls an influential kingdom of public opinion. He firmly believes that the United States is facing the mission of assuming a powerful nation and is therefore obliged to demonstrate its political, economic and cultural impact on a global scale. China is an ideal experimental field. The appearance of an Americanized China will be the result of the United States’ The strong proof of the mission of a strong nation has been elaborated precisely by “Sino-American Similarity Theory” in order to realize this “dream of a mighty nation.” In the more than 20 years since Henry Luce controlled the era companies, “Sino-American Similarity Theory” helped to shape the mainstream American impression and public opinion in the United States, thus forming a public pressure on government decision-making.
