The photo is labeled public domain per {{PD-China}}. However, she's clearly in the US as shown by the NBC microphone. So the photo is not from China, and we need to show that the photo is in the public domain in the US according to US copyright laws. FunnyMath (talk) 22:24, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

•  Keep Every NBC foreign correspondent on foreign soil has the same logo on their microphone. Her biography makes no mention of a trip to the USA in the 1950s. --RAN (talk) 12:02, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  According to the source for the photo, [1] it was taken during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45). She did make a trip to the US in 1943. The full resolution available on Britannica shows that all the books on the shelves are in English. [2] None are in Chinese. FunnyMath (talk) 04:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't like seeing valuable photos like this one getting deleted, so I understand if people are apprehensive about deleting it. I'm trying to see if the photo was published in a newspaper on Newspapers.com. That way, we can keep the photo using {{PD-US-no notice}} or {{PD-US-not renewed}}. No luck so far, but just to drive home the point, she did speak for the NBC in the US as can be seen here: [3] FunnyMath (talk) 04:50, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Actually, she did speak in front of an NBC microphone in China in the 1950s. See [4]. So the image could be from the 1950s, but the wording of the caption is unclear; whether she is thanking Americans who, during the war, supported China, or she is thanking, during the war, Americans who were supporting China.

Kept: China or US, most images from this era are PD. In addition to above research, I was unable to find version with copyright notice online. Pending any new info, closing as kept. --Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 23:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
