Chinese Embassy in Washington DC One principle governing New China's establishment of diplomatic relations with a foreign country is that it recognizes the government of the PRC as the sole legitimate government representing the whole of China, severs or refrains from establishing diplomatic relations with the Taiwan authorities. China has evolved the One-China Principle precisely in the course of the endeavor to develop normal diplomatic relations with other countries and the struggle to safeguard state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Providing Arms: China and the Middle East - Middle East Quarterly It was only after China agreed to bankroll the de facto nationalization of Yukos' biggest oil producing unit that Moscow amended its January decision to back a Japanese plan to run a pipeline to Russia's Pacific port of Nakhodka over a Chinese plan to terminate the pipeline in the northeastern Chinese city of Daqing. The naval facilities that China is constructing along the Straits of Malacca and Hormuz—and a well-equipped, compliant Iran—exploit the greatest weakness of the U.S. Navy: the challenge of operating in the littoral environment where large ships are especially vulnerable to missiles. China, by the same token has reasons to ask the United States to give its support and understanding in the fight against terrorism and separatists. www.meforum.org /article/695   (4084 words)

U.S. Policy Toward China   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) The Bush administration's China policy must be part of a larger Asian strategy that keeps America fully engaged, maintains the region's strength and dynamism in an era of globalization, and encourages China's own constructive engagement in the region. China's America policy is by no means wholly benign, and the United States should, therefore, adopt a hard-nosed view of its own interests. China's WTO entry will be the biggest influence on this ongoing process in the coming years. www.brookings.edu /comm/policybriefs/pb72.htm   (3282 words)

Asia Times Online :: China News, China Business News, Taiwan and Hong Kong News and Business.

While the campaign in China's poor West focuses on massive infrastructure spending - around $75 billion to date - the broad goals of the northeast project are structural: industrial diversification, further state-sector reform, and encouragement of the stunted private sector. www.atimes.com /atimes/China/GI14Ad03.html   (1177 words)

People's Daily Online -- New China celebrates 56th founding anniversary For a whole century before the late Chairman Mao Zedong pronounced the birth of New China, the Chinese nation was tormented by foreign invasions and wars fought among warlords for supremacy over the country. In 1931, Japan seized the entire northeast China, an area of 800,000 square kilometers, where it set up a puppet regime known as "Manchoukuo." And in late 1937, Japanese troops massacred more than 300,000 disarmed Chinese soldiers and civilians in Nanjing, then the national capital, in just a few weeks after the city fell. China is producing enough to feed one fifth of the world's population though its arable land accounts for only 7% of the world's total. english.people.com.cn /200509/30/eng20050930_211866.html   (1472 words)

Although Taiwan is a province of China and is not 'recognised' as a sovereign state in its own capacity, it must still be viewed as a separate political, economic and military entity. Although officially a province of China, for the purposes of this paper Taiwan will be treated as a separate entity to the PRC, possessing all the qualities pertaining to statehood. www.china-biz.org /Taiwan_Pages/Taiwan_PRC_Relations1.htm   (1361 words)

The Current State of Discussions between the Dalai Lama and the Government of the People's Republic of China   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) I would like to thank the John L.
