US-China Military Relations: Not a One-Way Street By Kenneth
Allen

Center, Dec. 10, 1999) The United States needs to maintain communications
links with the PLA, but not let China dictate the terms of
military engagement.
Engagement the Best Policy for US By Nat Bellocchi
(Taipei
Times, Dec. 7, 1999) Perhaps we could call our policy toward the PRC
"engagement," and toward Taiwan "contact." There
would be enough symbolism, ambiguity and hidden substance there, and of
course, we could always say there is "no change."
US Struggles to Build Military Ties to China By Justin
Brown

Trading With China
Editorial
(New York Times, Sep. 15, 1999) Relations between the United States and China, which lurch from crisis to
friendship to crisis, appear to be at least temporarily back on a positive
footing.
Jiang Embraces a New 'Old Friend' By Erik Eckholm
(New
York Times, Sep. 13, 1999) China's
rapid return to smiles reflects a more basic truth. For economic and
strategic reasons, China's
leaders see no good alternative to cooperative relations with the United States
in the years ahead.
Storm Clouds Gathering By Henry Kissinger
(Washington
Post, Sep. 7, 1999) With respect to Taiwan, three steps are needed: (1) to
leave no ambiguity about America's opposition to the use of force; (2) to

the principle of one China; (3) to insist on Taiwanese restraint in
challenging a framework that, in fact, ensures their autonomy and without
which events may well run out of control.

of China: 50 Years of People's Republic, CNN, September 1999) Fear, suspicion

of East Timor in their right for
self-determination.
Try Clear Thinking About Relations With China By Flora Lewis
(International
Herald Tribune, Aug. 27, 1999) Contradictory and alarming signals are coming
from China,

muddle. Evidently this is a moment of tension in the Beijing leadership and possibly of
important decision.
A Tightrope Act Over Taiwan By Jane
Perlez
(New
York Times, August 5, 1999) As is often the case in disputes between China and Taiwan,
the United States
finds itself in the middle. As the two sides pour verbal scorn on each other
and as military tensions remain high, the Clinton
administration is trying to steer a delicate course, signaling to Beijing its commitment to the "one China" policy that Taiwan is rejecting while reassuring Taiwan that
arms sales will continue.
U.S. on China-Taiwan Tightrope By Tom Raum
(Associated
Press, August 4, 1999) The administration must walk a difficult tightrope

now in crisis.
How Low Would He Bow?

International, June 28, 1999) Not far enough. Beijing

Editorial
(New York Times, June 15, 1999) One of Washington's top diplomats is leading
a team of American officials to Beijing to
apologize for the mistaken NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. His visit

the Taiwan Straits, according to an American foreign policy expert.
