After many years of support and alliance, the UnitedStates,in my opinion, is deserting an old little friend (Taiwan) to play marbles with a larger stronger friend (China). I'm not knocking the fact that better relations with a strong country such as China would improve inter­ national relations and strengthen the nation's economy. One just thinks that it could have been handled in a different manner, not as abruptly as it was done. Even if this is a well plannned strategic move by all of the political people in Washington, D.C,it wasn't made known to the public until mid December when the public was informed that as of Jan. 1979, Taiwan was no longer going to be recogniz­ ed by the United States asanindependent nation and that full diplomatic relations would be established with communist China soon.
