Jin xing jijiu (Undertaking an emergency procedure)

Title: Jin xing jijiu (Undertaking an emergency procedure)
Artist: Kukryniksy
Media: cartoon
Source: Sulian zhengzhi fengci manhua xuanji (A collection of political and satirical cartoons from the Soviet Union) (Shanghai, 1958).
Notes:

In this particularly humourless image, the Soviet Kukryniksy team portray Chiang as a head atop a set of spare parts and prosthetics, with Dean Acheson asking for further spare parts to be inserted. The image was almost certainly produced in reference to the Second Offshore Islands Crisis of 1958.
