Oliver Edmund Clubb (16 February 1901-9 May 1989) was a 20th-century American diplomat, considered one of the China Hands: United States State Department officials attacked during McCarthyism in the 1950s for "losing China" to the Communists. In 1928, Clubb passed the Foreign Service exam. In 1929, he received his first assignment to Beijing. Clubb spent two decades in government service as a member of the American Foreign Diplomatic Corps. On December 5, 1941 (two days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor), Clubb, then in Indochina, found himself seized by occupying Japanese forces and held, first for two months in solitary confinement, then another six months, and finally exchanged for Japanese held by the Allies. During World War II, he served in Chunking and Sianking and then Vladivostok in 1944. In 1949, his last overseas station was Beijing in 1949, where he was consul general as the U.S. left the country during the Communist takeover by Mao Zedong. Clubb then took over as chief of State's China desk. Clubb resigned as he decided that "his career was finished." Published for the Association of the Bar of the City of New York.
