    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations China-Taiwan Relations: New Faces, Familiar Policies David G. Brown, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Kevin Scott, The Brookings Institution Leadership changes have occurred on both sides of the strait. As predicted, the 18th Party Congress saw Xi Jinping appointed as general secretary in Beijing. In Taipei, President Ma announced in September a complete reshuffle of his cross-strait and foreign policy team. In both cases, the personnel changes do not foreshadow any policy changes in the coming months. While Ma remains unwilling to address political issues in direct negotiations, some interesting Track 2 dialogues occurred. In October, Beijing gave visiting DPP politician Hsieh Chang-ting unusual high-level attention, and following his return Hsieh has tried, thus far unsuccessfully, to promote change in DPP policy. Against the backdrop of increasing tensions over the Diaoyu Islands, Ma is focused on asserting Taiwan’s interests primarily through his East China Sea Peace Initiative. 18th Party Congress and PRC policy The 18th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) saw the long-anticipated emergence of a new party leadership under General Secretary Xi Jinping. In the lead-up to the Congress, Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) Minister Wang Yi authored two important articles. The first, an article in the party theoretical journal Qiushi, addressed primarily to party members, was entitled “The Accomplishments and Theoretical Renewal in Cross-Strait Work during the Past Ten Years.” Wang noted that the goal was reunification, that the interests of all Chinese would be best served by peaceful reunification and that the “peaceful development” of cross-strait relations based on Hu Jintao’s Six Points would pave the way for peaceful reunification.

  • Mao's Uncultured Revolution
    1 Washington Journal of Modern China Published by the U.S.-China Policy Foundation Editor Marcia R. Ristaino, Ph.D Publisher/Founder Wang Chi, Ph.D Editor’s Note: February 28, 2007 marked the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Shanghai Communiqué, the document which pledged both nations to work towards normalization of relations. It is one of the most significant accomplishments in U.S.-China relations. Our foundation celebrated the event at the National Press Club where Ambassadors Chas W. Freeman, Jr., J. Stapleton Roy, Dr. Richard Solomon and Mr. Stanley Karnow participated in a roundtable discussion. An earlier event took place in September 2006 at the U.S. State Department, a conference to mark the release of a volume in the “Foreign Relations of the United States” series on the Nixon Administration’s policy on China. Of special interest for us is that the State Department conference also hosted some of the key policymakers from the Nixon, Ford, and Carter Administrations. Like the participants at the Press Club seminar, these policy makers shared their recollections of the seminal years during which the framework for U.S.-China relations was being crafted and in its wake, the international setting, shaped by the Cold War, became transformed. In this issue of the journal, we are happy to provide a transcript of those State Department proceedings, as well as to offer other related articles and material of likely interest. Ed. The Washington Journal of Modern China is published twice a year. The journal is a policy-oriented publication on modern Chinese culture, economics, history, politics, and U.S.-China relations.
