This study analyzes Chinese translations in the magazine *Children's Paradise* (CP), operated by the Union, an entity involved in American covert cultural diplomatic activities during the Cold War. By examining omissions, substitutions, and additions in translated texts, the study reveals CP's commitment to the Union's China-centric agendas. Despite sharing anti-communist views with American interests, CP leveraged localized practices to engage with Hong Kong's socio-political issues, generating cultural outcomes exceeding Cold War polarities and leaving a lasting legacy on Hong Kong's younger generation.
