# Free World Pictorial poster, Vol. 3 No. 9 (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)

A Chinese-language photo sheet of nine items on U.S.-Taiwan exchange and American life. Pictures include a Miro-style ceramic wall mural, a Chinese judge taking tea with a U.S. law professor, a Chinese general receiving a decoration from a U.S. general, a trombonist, delegates at a nuclear-science school, a schoolgirl examining plants and an agricultural worker among coffee bushes. The tell is card-stacking: only favourable exchange and cooperation items are chosen, and the captions present them as shared progress.
