Title: Wenwu jia nu (Slaves in war and literature)
Artist: Lu Xi'an 呂西安
Created: 1955
Media: cartoon (magazine cover)
Source: Manhua 53 (April 1955)
Notes:

In a typical mid-1950s depiction from the font cover of the highly influential magazine Manhua (Cartoons), Chiang is literally 'in the pocket' of the Macartharesque Americans (with the Taiwan-based intellectual Hu Shih emerging from the back pocket of the same figure).
