'''John Carter Vincent''' worked for the [[U.S. State Department]] as a [[China hand]] during [[World War II]] and the [[Chinese Civil War]].
Vincent was one of Sen. [[Joseph McCarthy]]'s numbered cases given to the [[Tydings Committee]]. During his tenure as chief of the Division of Chinese Affairs, Vincent played an important role in hastening [[Mao Zedong]]'s conquest of China. The [[United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security|McCarran Committee]] concluded that "over a period of years, John Carter Vincent was the principal fulcrum of [[Institute of Pacific Relations|IPR]] pressures and influence in the State Department." [[Louis F. Budenz]] testified in the summer of 1951 that Vincent was a member of the [[Communist Party of the United States|Communist Party]]. In December 1952, the Civil Service Loyalty Review Board found reasonable doubt regarding Vincent's loyalty. In 1953, Secretary of State [[John Foster Dulles]] requested Vincent's resignation. Vincent is McCarthy's Case #2 and Lee list #52.<ref>{{cite book
