In modern Chinese history, every successive Chinese government faced the problem of reestablishing the international esteem China once enjoyed. The Nationalist government (NG) was no exception. The NG resumed China's national pride during the Second World War, but in Taiwan, the United States maintained the NG's international status, so the NG was forced to hide its Chinese nationalism in front of Americans. In the presence of less-developed allies, however, the NG was able to provide aid and assistance to these countries on its own terms. By showing Taiwan's economic, military, cultural, and technical supremacy to less-developed countries, the NG was able to regain the feeling of being a rich and powerful China.

520 $a In modern Chinese history, every successive Chinese government faced the problem of reestablishing the international esteem China once enjoyed. The Nationalist government (NG) was no exception. The NG resumed China's national pride during the Second World War, but in Taiwan, the United States maintained the NG's international status, so the NG was forced to hide its Chinese nationalism in front of Americans. In the presence of less-developed allies, however, the NG was able to provide aid and assistance to these countries on its own terms. By showing Taiwan's economic, military, cultural, and technical supremacy to less-developed countries, the NG was able to regain the feeling of being a rich and powerful China.
520 $a Among the regions receiving Taiwan's foreign assistance, Africa probably best embodies the essence of what the NG was trying to accomplish. Helping a continent that the Chinese perceived to have made less progress than themselves allowed the NG to hold itself out to the world as the legitimate and powerful China. By demonstrating "Chinese techniques," the NG gained respect, loyalty, and political support from Africa and was sometimes regarded as superior to Western powers, although the most fundamental part of this foreign policy was American financial support.
