	China Lobby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During most of the twentieth century, the term "China lobby" was usually used to refer to special interest groups acting on behalf of the Republic of China (ROC).
		Before American recognition of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1979, the PRC lobby was practically nonexistent; since that time, the PRC lobby has gradually strengthened, and by the 1990s, "China lobby" began usually referring to special interest groups acting on behalf of the PRC.
		During the 1970s, the China (ROC) lobby campaigned furiously to prevent American recognition of the People's Republic of China, but its efforts proved to be unsuccessful and the PRC was recognized by the United States in 1979.

	Lobbies Influence, Not Make, US Foreign Policy by Leon Hadar
		Israel and its political lobby in the US are political entities that promote the specific interpretation of the political concept of Jewish nationalism (Zionism) that is not shared by most of the Jews who do not live in Israel and by more than 25 per cent of Israeli citizens who are not Jewish.
		In the same way, one has the right to challenge any critic of Israel or its lobby by challenging the criticism on its merit and not by applying "negative stereotypes" to the critic, that is by suggesting that he or she is an anti-Semite.
		The Israel Lobby, like the Saudi Lobby or the Iraqis who lobbied for US invasion of their country, could be compared to what economists refer to as "rent seekers," that is, interest groups who profit from government policies, in this case US interventionist policies in the Middle East.

		China's economic relations with Taiwan, already massive, continue to expand heavily as the economic integration of the mainland and the island progresses.

		China would be something of a strange fit with the World Trade Organization (WTO), which consists of market economy members and is oriented to marketizing members' economic and political decisions as much as possible.
		If the China Lobby is able to have nearly as much success in opening the Chinese market as it has had in opening the U.S. market to goods made in China, China will indeed be the world's most exciting market for U.S. multinationals, for many years to come.

		They are entitled to put forth their central and alarming theme: that the United States and China are headed for long -term conflict because China is not only an ambitious power with its sights set on regional dominance in the Asia Pacific, but also is convinced that the United States is its primary strategic adversary.
		It generates a hearty brew: China as a looming foreign menace; a treacherous "New China Lobby," made up of US businesses and former US government officials who do China's work in America in order to curry favor with the bosses in Beijing; and dramatic "war games" scenarios leading to US-China hostilities.

	Tom Delay Taiwan and The China Lobby's Grip on the US Congress
		As late as 1969 "Nationalist" China, the government on Taiwan, remained the 7th greatest all-time recipient of USA foreign aid.
		By that time, Executive action to end the Vietnam War (Nixon's rapprochement with "Communist" China) and international pressure to accept the huge mainland Chinese population, led to a decline in the China Lobby's influence culminating in the normalization of relations with Beijing in 1979.
		Delay's bill maintains that the first defense need of Taiwan is an "increase in technical staff of the American Institute in Taiwan" to which the House and Senate this year gave a blank check for "enhancements" (see Section 211).

		Communist China chafes in a world governed (mostly) by American power and American ideals, and seeks instead a world it can control on the “principle” of “non-interference” in international relations, i.e., let the citizen beware.
		Communist China blessed the deal (no real surprise), while the Stalinists took a brief respite, until the international spotlight shifted, and then went right back to developing nuclear weapons in secret for four years before the Bush Administration called them on it in 2002.
		The truth about Communist China is this: it is a rising, angry, and fearful regime hostile to American interests because it is terrified of its people becoming too exposed to American liberty.
