  One-China policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The One-China policy (Traditional Chinese: 一個中國; Simplified Chinese: 一个中国; pinyin: yī gè Zhōngguó) is the principle that there is one China and that mainland China, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, Xinjiang and Taiwan are all part of that China.
In the case of the United States, the One-China policy was first stated in the Shanghai Communiqué of 1972: "the United States acknowledges that Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China.
The acknowledgement of the One China policy is also a prerequisite by the People's Republic of China government for any cross-strait dialogue be held with groups from Taiwan.

 February 16, 2005: China Replacing the United States as World's Leading Consumer (printable)
As China’s population urbanizes and as the country has moved into the construction phase of development, building hundreds of thousands of factories and high-rise apartment and office buildings, steel consumption has climbed to levels not seen in any other country.
China is now importing vast quantities of grain, soybeans, iron ore, aluminum, copper, platinum, potash, oil and natural gas, forest products for lumber and paper, and the cotton needed for its world-dominating textile industry.
China’s eclipse of the United States as a consumer nation should be seen as another milestone along the path of its evolution as a world economic leader.

 JPRI Working Paper No. 105
China, Japan, and the United States are the three most productive economies on Earth, but China is the fastest growing (at an average rate of 9.5% per annum for over two decades), whereas both the U.S. and Japan are saddled with huge and mounting debts and, in the case of Japan, stagnant growth rates.
China's growing economic weight in the world today is widely recognized and applauded, but it is China's growth rates and their effect on the future global balance of power that the U.S. and Japan, rightly or wrongly, fear.
China and Brazil also entered into a "strategic partnership" with the objective of raising the value of bilateral trade from $10 billion in 2004 to $20 billion by 2007.

BEIJING, (AFP) — China is increasingly unable to meet its rising food demand and will be forced to turn to the world market to import 30-50 million tons of grain annually, according to a leading agro-economist.

If PNTR for China is approved by Congress, a projection of trade trends over the next decade shows that the trade deficit will expand, resulting in sizeable job losses in every state and in virtually every sector of the economy.
Despite China's disregard for basic human rights and labor standards and its unwillingness to open its markets to U.S. goods, the Clinton Administration is currently pushing Congress to approve a trade deal that would grant China permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) status, paving China's way into the World Trade Organization.
A better deal would (1) oppose China's WTO membership until China agrees to include enforce-able labor rights and environmental standards as core elements of the agreement; (2) assure that the agreement delivers quantifiable commercial benefits; and (3) require that it incorporate a clearly defined multilateral mechanism for enforcement.
