“…China's reticence was all the more country they considered a political troublemaker but desirable trading partner. 83 The advantage of the Leipzig fairs as an 'economic-political exhibition' had turned into a double-edged sword. Focus on mutual economic interests allowed everyone, when they so wished, to continue pan-socialist interactions at Leipzig.…”

Between 1951 and 1965, the People’s Republic of China regularly exhibited at the international trade fairs in the East German city of Leipzig. One of the major attractions of the fairs, China’s grand pavilion was second in size only to the pavilion of the Soviet Union. This article examines the planning and execution of China’s exhibitions, illustrating how the young communist regime displayed its products and political system abroad and how citizens of other socialist and capitalist countries experienced China through objects, materials, images and narratives. Because the People's Republic of China was a new revolutionary state of enormous political and economic significance and yet also a state that other socialist regimes deemed too poorly developed to transition to socialism, these exhibitions were the site of constant negotiations and tension between Chinese and East German organizers and other local decision-makers and participants. As such, the People's Republic of China’s engagement with the fairs sheds further light on its international activities after 1949 and on the local history of the Sino-Soviet split. It is also a case study that calls attention to the historical significance of materiality that underpinned China’s interactions with the wider world, from minute quotidian things to grand gifts and major export goods.

Статья посвящена изображению советско-китайской дружбы в провинциальной печати на примере газет Челябинска и Магнитогорска. При работе с этими источниками, большая часть которых впервые введена в научный оборот, авторы использовали имагологический метод и дискурс-анализ. Этот инструментарий позволил проанализировать ведущие образы советско-китайской дружбы, транслировавшиеся в советской провинциальной периодике в исследуемый период. Они складывались из описаний китайских практикантов на промышленных предприятиях, презентации ведущей роли СССР в построении социализма в Китае и демонстраций крепких дружеских связей, возникших между уральцами и китайскими тружениками. The article is devoted to the image of Soviet-Chinese friendship in the provincial press on the example of the newspapers of Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk. Most of the sources are first introduced into scientific circulation. The authors used the imagological method and discourse analysis. Using this toolkit, we analyzed the basic images of Soviet-Chinese friendship, which were broadcast in the Soviet provincial periodicals. The images of friendship developed on the basis of descriptions of Chinese trainees at industrial enterprises, a presentation of the leading role of the USSR in building socialism in China, and demonstrations of the strong friendly ties that arose between the Urals and Chinese workers.
