All the Reactionaries are the Paper Tiger (1968)
Vintage original Chinese Propaganda poster. Printed in Shanghai, China, 1968.
In a 1956 interview with American journalist Anna Louise Strong, Mao Zedong used the phrase "paper tiger" to describe American imperialism. He said, "In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of; it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe that it is nothing but a paper tiger."
