Extract

On the muggy afternoon of July 5, 1962, an unusual symposium of some 270 scholars and students of Chinese studies from all over the country gathered in Tokyo. They were drawn by the urgent need to discuss the problems raised by the Toyo Bunko's (Oriental Library) receipt of grants from the Ford and Asia Foundations for organizing the Center for Modern Chinese Studies. The vital issue was whether it was permissible to let the Toyo Bunko accept the huge amount of American funds to organize modern Chinese studies in Japan.

17 The opposition movement received strong support from the Japanese Communist Party. The Toyo Bunko projects and the opposition movement were reported in the Communist Akahata and Bunka hyōron. However, it is fair to say that the movement developed into significance primarily because of the spontaneous participation of the scholars and students in the field.
