In 1957, Harrington entered China against a U.S. State Department ban on newsmen entering the communist nation. The Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, threatened to jail Harrington, or at least revoke his passport.

The articles produced from these images won Harrington and Edmund Stevens the George Polk award for magazine reporting.
