Sino-American relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sino-American relations refers to interstate relations between the United States and China. American general George C. Marshall tried to broker a truce between the ROC and the CCP in 1946, but it quickly came undone, and the Nationalist cause went steadily downhill until 1949, when the Communists emerged victorious and drove the Nationalists from the Chinese mainland onto the island of Taiwan. Relations between the U.S. and PRC were severely strained by the NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in May 1999 (said in some press to have been deliberate). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sino-American_relations   (6195 words)

GU - SFS - ISD: Sino-American Relations One American stressed the need for a cooperative human rights relationship and said the United States could play a helpful role in such areas as the rule of law, the education of judges, and the structure of the court system and by trying to assist China in other nonthreatening ways. American participants rejected the apparent Chinese view that the United States is trying "to keep China down." On the contrary, several participants argued that the United States has a major interest in fitting China into the world and encouraging China's full participation in multilateral institutions and adherence to international rules and standards. A large concern for American participants was that China does not seem to appreciate that its "actions have consequences." Nor does it appear to fully grasp the functioning of the U.S. democratic system and the role various government branches and public opinion play in the policy-making process. www.georgetown.edu /sfs/programs/isd/files/sino.htm   (4024 words)

Checkmate: The Taiwan Problem and its Implications on Sino-American Relations Yet, depending on the Americans’ foreign policies, a more friendly and complimentary relationship can be developed between the PRC and the United States in the long run. These American aids, together with the deployment of the American Seventh Fleet to “defend” the Taiwan Straits since the Korean War, were crucial in consolidating and strengthening the Nationalist regime on the island and hence created a Taiwan that could eventually stood on its own and away from the mainland. Now that American superiority in the region is eroding and that the U.S. is losing its upper-hand in dealing with China, it is to the best interests of the Washington to cooperate with Beijing rather than attempting to prevent an inevitable rise of China to the rank of a dominate world power. people.brandeis.edu /~hin/POL167a04.html   (2836 words)

A Quarter Century of Frustration: Sino-American Relations, 1944-1969 American policy-makers were altogether too slow in realizing that Chinese nationalism was the primary driving force in Peking’s policies and that Mao and his associates were never merely a Soviet instrument. Furthermore, underlying the American policy in Asia was the assumption that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was an aggressive Communist nation determined to expand into Southeast Asia, an assumption that took as axiomatic that the Chinese were instruments of overall Kremlin strategy. Unfortunately, one of the characteristics of most American writing about China is the tendency to account for “the loss of China”—as if we ever had it—as the work of one or more villains, sometimes Chinese, sometimes American, and sometimes both. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/aureview/1973/jan-feb/whiting.html   (2564 words)

glaserpaper.txt Bush administration officials have urged Beijing to not be alarmed by American references to the bilateral relationship as a competitive one. The broad objective in bilateral relations this year should be to accomplish small, but concrete progress that contributes to building trust and confidence between the two sides. If strained relations between the China and Taiwan were to erupt into military conflict, the U.S. would inevitably be drawn in because of its legal and moral commitments to Taiwan's defense. nautilus.org /archives/nukepolicy/workshops/shanghai-01/glaserpaper.txt   (3402 words)

Is America Finally Recognizing China as a New Global Power? A new vision of Sino-American relations is emerging, and that is good news for both countries as China emerges as a new global power. In his vision about Sino-American relations he added another package of advice for Condoleezza Rice. And, since American malls are chock-full of "Made in China" goods, it means that if America uses the oil key in a hegemonic way, it only dooms America's vaunted consumer capitalism. www.imdiversity.com /Villages/Asian/world_international/pns_us-china_relations_0704.asp   (908 words)

A Fragile Relationship He also addresses the shifting political base for Sino-American relations within each country, including the development of each society's perceptions of the other, and the emergence and dissolution of rival political coalitions supporting and opposing the relationship. He discusses the principal substantive issues in U.S.-China relations, including the way in which the two countries have addressed their differences over Taiwan and human rights, and how they have approached the blend of common and competitive interests in their economic and strategic relationships. Paradoxically, although relations between the two countries are vastly more extensive today than they were twenty years ago, they remain highly fragile. www.brook.edu /press/books/fragile.htm   (428 words)

portfolio.writing.history That is to say, the Untied States’ objectives in Sino-American relations are often based on efforts at democratization. The future of Chinese-American relations has become a considerable concern for the U.S. Based on the rapid economic and military growth of China as a regional power, determining the status of America’s relationship with the growing nation has become pressing. American policy centered on economic and military pressure along with a strategic understanding of the communist nation will cultivate a system of controlled power sharing between the U.S. and China. www.unc.edu /~hughesj/portfolio.writing.history.html   (1412 words)

The New International Strategic Situation, U.S. Strategy and the Future of Sino-American Relations The current positive trend in Sino-American relations began before 9/11, but was accelerated by U.S.-China cooperation in the war on terrorism and in efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula. For the United States, this issue is intertwined with unresolved issues of American policy toward East Asian economic integration, much of which is centered around China’s growing importance as a trade partner, an attractor of regional investment, and an increasingly important participant in regional economic fora and potential free-trade agreements. There are forces in Taiwan, China and the United States, that want Taiwan to take steps that could undermine the current stability in the cross-Strait relationship – and there are those in China who seek to step up pressure to compel reunification. www.asiasociety.org /speeches/garrett.html   (2814 words)

AllRefer.com - China - Sino-American Relations Chinese Information Resource The Korean War was a major factor responsible for setting relations between China and the United States in a state of enmity and mistrust, as it contributed to the United States policy of "containing" the Chinese threat through a trade embargo and travel restrictions, as well as through military alliances with other Asian nations. In establishing relations, Washington reaffirmed its agreement that the People's Republic was the sole legal government of China and that Taiwan was an inalienable part of China. The Shanghai Communique, a milestone document describing the new state of relations between the two countries, and signed by Nixon and Zhou Enlai, included a certain degree of ambiguity that allowed China and the United States to set aside differences, especially on the Taiwan issue, and begin the process of normalizing relations. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/china/china336.html   (1644 words)

Sino-American Relations And U.S. Policy Options I mean, there is a very humanitarian argument to the fact that millions of Americans' jobs depend upon our engagement with China, and I think it is in error, as all of you believe, to think that the only humanitarian argument would be to deny normal trading relations with China. I know there are so many American citizens who feel strongly about that, not only because of their high regard for Tibet or even for their knowledge of the situation, but because of their devotion to this Nobel Prize recipient, who has inspired so many people in so many other ways. The Congress chose to pass the Taiwan Relations Act, and there was active debate at the time as to whether language that declared an attack upon Taiwan as threatening the security interests of the United States would be added to that act. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/library/congress/1997_h/hfa44150_0.htm   (16670 words)

CNOOC’s Bid Withdrawal: A New Era in Sino-American Relations? Press Interpreter If one were to say that the withdrawal of Cnooc’s bid was not unrelated to the United States Congress’ mistrust of China, then one might also recognize that the recent Sino-American strategic negotiations demonstrate that America and China are establishing a new precedent of mutual trust. Americans look at domestic companies being purchased by foreign companies the same way they look at American companies purchasing foreign companies. A supervisor in the investment relations division of Cnooc repeatedly stated, “We have never commented on the market’s reactions. www.pressinterpreter.org /node/194   (1848 words)

Without a close and insightful look into the reconstruction of China with American involvement during the late 1940s, one cannot identify the problems which led to the Nationalists' failure, nor can one answer the questions dealing with the impact of American economic policy toward China during that time. The economic relationship between the U. and China during the 1940s has long been neglected, with few scholarly works focusing on the period. www.greenwood.com /books/BookDetail_pf.asp?sku=GM0171   (266 words)

CHINA THINK BASE » Print » Official Scholar Zheng Bijian: The Direction of the Chinese Communist Party in the 21st Century During the US debate on Sino-American relations in the first half of this year, President Bush, Secretary of State Rice and other American politicians sought to persist in placing greatest emphasis on the overall state of Sino-American relations, responding pragmatically to Chinese sincerity and goodwill. The speech on Sino-American relations by Robert Zoellick can be considered a clear declaration of the position of US leadership on Sino-American relations, an important articulation concentrating on the main points of US policy towards China. To both the United States and China, Sino-American relations is the most important and most complicated of bilateral relations. chinathinkbase.com /archives/8print   (828 words)

AAS Abstracts: China Session 27 Since Sino-American relations affect the security of the entire region of Northeast Asia, the United States inevitably has to view China's role in terms of East Asia and the entire Pacific region. This panel should be of general interest to AAS members in their capacities as citizens interested in the impact of Asia on U.S.-China relations and vice-versa, but it should also make a distinctive contribution to the specialist consideration of the subject. In turn, the issues of U.S.-China relations are as often questions of mutual actions toward third-party situations as they are matters of purely bilateral concerns. www.aasianst.org /absts/1997abst/China/c27.htm   (925 words)

Pacific Affairs: Tibet issue in post-summit Sino-American relations, The With Sino-American relations now central to U.S. foreign policy, the U.S. has begun to shift to a more balanced stance, which is also a precondition for it having any role in facilitating negotiations on the Tibet Question. The rise to prominence of Tibet as a question in U.S.-China relations contrasts with the earlier on-again-off-again nature of the issue. Domestic pressures emanating from this single-issue constituency and antagonism toward the last major Communist state have produced one-sided U.S. support for the Tibetan exile cause, despite the Dalai Lama's vacillation on whether to seek independence or greater autonomy for Tibet. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3680/is_199904/ai_n8836638   (1377 words)

RAND Reports The lessons of coalition politics : Sino-American security relations The expectations generated by the major breakthroughs in Sino-American relations during the late 1970s vastly outstripped the results. Because the prospects for highly developed security ties were so limited, the United States continued to stress the indirect benefits enjoyed through improved Sino-American relations. Beijing seems likely to collaborate with the United States in the future and the United States can contribute to the further development of Sino-American security ties. www.rand.org /cgi-bin/Abstracts/e-getabbydoc.pl?R-3133   (350 words)

Foreign Affairs - Reconsiderations: A Decade of Sino-American Relations - Michel Oksenberg Nixon's travels in Asia and conversations with world leaders such as Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s had convinced him of the increasing costs which the United States was paying due to its hostile relations with China, and he saw the opportunities which the Sino-Soviet rupture offered. The relationship has also endured two periods of some acrimony and erosion: from the fall of 1975 to late 1976 and from mid-1980 to the effort to stabilize the relationship reflected in the communiqué on arms sales to Taiwan that was agreed in August 1982. Richard Nixon came to office privately determined to alter America's relations with China. www.foreignaffairs.org /19820901faessay8298/michel-oksenberg/reconsiderations-a-decade-of-sino-american-relations.html   (750 words)

Levine Beijing Plays the "Washington Card" During that same period, Warren Cohen established his well-deserved reputation as the leading historian of Sino-American relations of his generation. A consistent strength of Cohen's book is his presentation of Chinese as well as American perspectives on events and issues in the relationship. Throughout this entire 150-year history, the U.S. government and the American people did not consider China important enough to warrant much attention, and certainly not to risk war with more powerful countries such as Japan. www.unc.edu /depts/diplomat/archives_roll/2001_10-12/book_levine_beijing/book_levine_beijing.html   (802 words)

RAND Papers Soviet Apprehensions about Sino-American Relations, 1971-74. Memories of the American 1949 aid to a Yugoslavia threatened with Soviet invasion could affect Soviet perceptions today. China might wish U.S. military ties (1) to improve its forces, (2) to give Moscow the impression that the Americans would help China resist attack, (3) to generate Soviet-American friction, or (4) simply as part of an ongoing program to acquire all available foreign technology. The most advantageous policy for the United States might be to permit private export licenses for sales to China of defensive or passive military items, such as reconnaissance systems and over-the-horizon radar, which would be stabilizing rather than destabilizing. www.rand.org /cgi-bin/Abstracts/e-getabbydoc.pl?P-5459   (376 words)

Reconnaissance Flights and Sino-American Relations Source: National Archives, SN 67-69, Pol Chicom-US During the fall of 1969, after years of tensions, possibilities for improvement of Sino-American relations were substantially greater and senior officials on both sides were signaling their interest in a new relationship. Until more formal diplomatic relations were in place, the Warsaw talks were a way for two unfriendly governments to maintain communications. The Chinese press publicized the incident and festivities occurred on Hainan Island; on 16 February, the air defense unit rejoice its victory over "American imperialism," beginning the event with the song "The East is Red" and concluding with "Sailing the Sea Depends on the Helmsman." www.gwu.edu /~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB41   (1623 words)

HKUST Institutional Repository: Item 1783.1/1192 The recent intense US interest in the Tibet Question arises largely from the successful politicization by the Tibetan exiles and their Western supporters of popular American fascination with Tibetan Buddhism and culture. The period of the two US/China presidential summits has also seen indications of a new willingness by PRC leaders to allow for indirect American involvement in reaching an accommodation that will allow for PRC/exile negotiations. At the same time that “Tibet fever” crests in the US, however, the centrality of China in US foreign policy has recently caused the US to incrementally move toward a more balanced view. hdl.handle.net /1783.1/1192   (183 words)

The Sino-Soviet Border Conflict, 1969 Stearman prefaced his message with an excerpt from National Intelligence Estimate on Sino-Soviet relations; intelligence community analysts opined that there "is at least some chance" that Moscow "may be preparing to take action" to prevent Chinese nuclear forces from threatening the Soviet Union. Drawing on archival records and material released through the Freedom of Information Act, the article reviews the Nixon administration's early steps toward a new relationship with the People's Republic of China and the impact of Sino-Soviet tensions on the moves toward rapprochement taken by both Beijing and Washington. In the fall of 1969, while Beijing and Moscow were starting to negotiate, the Chinese and the Americans were starting to communicate, in a highly secret fashion, their interest in a dialogue. www.gwu.edu /~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB49   (4581 words)
