中日“人民外交”的挫折：过程研究与结构分析
[文 / 刘建平 ]
[内容提要]20世纪50年代中期，在苏联的影响下，中国政府给“人民外交”设定了推动
实现中日国家间关系正常化的目标，为此尽力满足日本在贸易、遣返日侨、释放战犯等
方面的利益期待。但当时的日本政府一方面取利，一方面侮辱中国的邦交正常化追求，
中国政府愤而于1958年5月切断了交流。这是美日同盟敌视中国和日本保守政治势力因
逃脱战争责任追究而继承战前对中国的蔑视的结果。日本对华敌视、蔑视的关系结构，
决定了战后中日关系的“周期性恶化”特征。

周二公布的统计数据是女性在教育程度上的里程碑，她们在上世纪八十年代早期开始在

美国人口普查局（Census Bureau）公布的“教育程度在美国：2010”（Educational

在25岁以上的成年人中，1,060万美国女性有硕士或更高的学位，而男性只有1,050万。
按比例统计，10.2％的女性有高等学位，男性为10.9％，但近年来这个比例差异不断缩
