Following the establishment of Sino-U.S. diplomatic relations in January 1979,Communist leaders in Beijing carried out a series of intensive campaigns to woo the Nationalists in Taiwan to accept peace talks and to re-unify Taiwan and mainland China under the formula of "One Country Two Systems". The formula implies that, after unification, two different systems will remain - Socialism on the mainland and Capitalism in Taiwan for at least 50 years. Although Beijing's reunification policy has been further developed and persistently propagated, its efforts, so far, have met with little success.

  • Interview with Arthur W. Hummel Jr
    Library of Congress Interview with Arthur W. Hummel Jr. The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Information Series AMBASSADOR ARTHUR W. HUMMEL, JR. Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: April 13, 1994 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: Today is April 13, 1994. This is an interview with Ambassador Arthur William Hummel, Jr., done at his home in Chevy Chase, MD, on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. Mr. Ambassador, I wonder if we could start out with your background, because it's a very unusual one. I'd like to talk a bit about this as we go. HUMMEL: All right. I was born in China in Fenchow (now Fengyang), in Shanxi Province. My parents were missionaries. We moved to Peking when I was three years old, so my only childhood memories are of Peking. Q: You were born in 1920? HUMMEL: That's right. I spent most of my time in Beijing, then known as Peking. We moved back to the United States in 1928. My father ended his service as a missionary, because he was basically a scholar of Chinese. He was recruited by the then Librarian, Dr. Putnam, to be head of the Oriental Division of the Library of Congress. We moved to Chevy Chase in 1928, not far from where we are now. I had forgotten all of my childhood Interview with Arthur W. Hummel Jr. http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000539 Library of Congress Chinese because I refused to speak it, which, I understand, is not too unusual among kids born abroad who want to be like other Americans.
