In this paper we point out the different attitudes of the Press towards the Press Law Amendment in 1935 & 1937, which implies the changing relationships between the State and the Press from 1928 to 1937 in China. During this period, the relationship between them was not mean that the State lent full intervened the Press, while the latter resisted the former at the same time. Because of the Political Tutelage and Mukden Incident, the State strengthened its control over the Press, which caused the resistance of the latter. Therefore, their relationship was strained. Due to the increasing national crisis and nationalism, the Press restrained the appeal to liberalism. Meanwhile, the State adjusted the policies toward Japan and the Press. Their relations have eased. At last, they have reached a consensus on national interest. In summary, this paper reveals the multi-dimensional and complexity of the relationships between the State and the Press in this period.
