Since then, he had been pursuing his research career in Sinology.During his 15 years in China, MacNair participated in a wide range of academic activities and published a series of influential works.Far Eastern International Relations, which he edited,was further developed on the basis of Morse’s diplomatic history research. It was one of the earliest works on East Asian international relations in the United States,which established the authority of MacNairs Far East history.MacNair is a historian who showed great concern for realistic issues.Under the background of Chinese exclusion movements in the West, he paid close attention to the overseas Chinese community,and published a monograph,The Chinese Abroad,which made him a pioneer in overseas Chinese history research.In 1927,MacNair returned to the United States and taught at the University of Washington and the University of Chicago. Although far away from China, he still kept a close watch on the situation in the Far East and contributed to Sino-US cultural exchanges.Durin
