A glimpse into the U.S.-China Policy Foundation’s history, activities, and work for the improvement of U.S.-China Relations. About the U.S.-China Policy Foundation The United States-China Policy Foundation (USCPF) is a 501(c)(3) non-partisan, non-profit, non-advocacy organization that promotes a greater understanding between policymakers, government officials, and researchers in the United States and China. The USCPF is the first and only public educational organization in the nation’s capital devoted exclusively to improving U.S.-China policy. In pursuit of this goal, the USCPF provides opportunities for students, researchers, and practitioners of foreign policy to interact in more diverse and substantial ways and seeks to inform the public through its publications and programs. The Foundation’s operational funds come exclusively from private donations. Prominent officials, distinguished scholars, and leading citizens comprise the organization’s governing board. The Foundation’s headquarters are located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. As a research-oriented organization, the Foundation undertakes the following activities to fulfill its educational mission: COORDINATING research efforts on topics and issues related to U.S.- China policy ORGANIZING exchanges and visits between specialists on U.S.-China relations, policymakers, and officials from both nations FACILITATING opportunities for discussion between U.S. policymakers and senior Chinese leaders in an unofficial capacity EDUCATING bright, young college graduates on U.S.-China policy and helping them pursue their professional aspirations ACTING as a focal point for an informal network of American China specialists and Chinese America specialists PROVIDING free consultative services to American scholars and policymakers on various U.S.-China policy issues SUGGESTING or furnishing experts with information on issues related to U.S.-China policy PROMOTING the development of China studies in U.S. institutions of higher education MAINTAINING a collection of scholarly work and articles for research purposes HOSTING seminars and conferences on issues related to U.S.-China relations For more information, please visit the U.S.-China Policy Foundation’s website: www.uscpf.org An Introduction to the U.S.-China Policy Foundation The founding members of USCPF in 1997. The U.S.-China Policy Foundation was founded by Ambassadors John Holdridge, Arthur Hummel Jr., Charles W. Freeman Jr., and Dr. Chi Wang in 1995 to enhance the policymaking dialogue between the U.S. and China as well as further the understanding of China in the United States. All four founders have made enormous contributions to the establishment and growth of U.S.-China relations. USCPF has worked for 20 years to improve mutual understanding and facilitate meaningful dialogue and exchange between the people of China and the United States. The Foundation’s President, Dr. Chi Wang, has played a leading role in fostering improved economic, cultural, and political relations between the United States and China for more than 40 years. He has met frequently with noted Chinese and American leaders and officials over this period, and today the Foundation maintains strong ties with key figures in the U.S. and Chinese government, academic, and business communities. In 1992, he worked to help China achieve “Most Favored Nation” trade status. Dr. Wang worked in the Library of Congress Chinese and Korean Section for 47 years, and was the first Chinese American sent to China by the Library of Congress, State Department, and White House to participate in an official U.S.-China book and cultural exchange during the early years of the normalization of the Sino-U.S. relationship. Ambassador John Holdridge traveled to China alongside then National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger as part of the secret trip in 1971 and assisted in drafting the Shanghai Communiqué in 1972. The Communiqué helped pave the way to establishing a diplomatic relationship with China in 1979. Ambassador Holdridge also served as U.S. Ambassador to Singapore and Indonesia, as well as Assistant Secretary for East Asia. Ambassador Arthur Hummel Jr. was born and grew up in China. A child of Christian missionaries, he developed a deep knowledge of China and a passion for the country that led him to serve as the second U.S. Ambassador to China in 1981-1985. He also contributed to the aforementioned Shanghai Communiqué in 1972. Ambassador Chas W. Freeman Jr. served as a the principal interpreter on President Nixon’s first trip to China in 1972. He later served as the Director of the China Desk and the U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1989-1992, as well as the Assistant Secretary for Defense for International Security. All four founders were pioneers in developing U.S. China policy during the establishment of formal Sino-U.S. relations.

    bindex.indd 540 3/14/11 3:26:49 PM China’s development, at least in part, is driven by patriotism and pride. The Chinese people have made great contributions to world civilization. Our commitment and determination is rooted in our historic and national pride. It’s fair to say that we have achieved some successes, [nevertheless] we should have a cautious appraisal of our accomplishments. We should never overestimate our accomplish- ments or indulge ourselves in our achievements. We need to assess ourselves objectively. [and aspire to] our next higher goal. [which is] a persistent and unremitting process. Xi Jinping Politburo Standing Committee member In the face of complex and ever-changing international and domes- tic environments, the Chinese Government promptly and decisively adjusted our macroeconomic policies and launched a comprehensive stimulus package to ensure stable and rapid economic growth. We increased government spending and public investments and imple- mented structural tax reductions. Balancing short-term and long- term strategic perspectives, we are promoting industrial restructuring and technological innovation, and using principles of reform to solve problems of development. Li Keqiang Politburo Standing Committee member I am now serving my second term in the Politburo. President Hu Jintao’s character is modest and low profile. we all have the high- est respect and admiration for him—for his leadership, perspicacity and moral convictions. Under his leadership, complex problems can all get resolved. It takes vision to avoid major conflicts in soci- ety. Income disparities, unemployment, bureaucracy and corruption could cause instability. This is the Party’s most severe test.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

According to Li Ganjie, Vice- Minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, safety evaluations of the 28 reactors under construction should be completed by October. Six weeks earlier, China declared its military nuclear facilities safe. Li emphasizes that the lessons from "Japan's Fukushima nuclear crisis are profound," and that China is working on a comprehensive and effective nuclear safety plan. Li confirms that China still plans to construct more than 100 reactors by 2020. On the other hand, "[China] needs to control the pace of [the nuclear energy] development," according to Zheng Yuhui, director of the research center of the China Nuclear Energy Association. The Chinese Academy of Sciences scholars add that China should maintain a relatively stable policy for nuclear power development and further strengthen nuclear safety. —中华人民共和国中央人民政府 [The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China], "环境保护部副部长会见美国能源部核能助理部长 [Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection Met the United States Department of Energy's Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy]," 14 June 2011, www.gov.cn; "After Inspections, China Moves Ahead with Nuclear Plans," The New York Times, 17 June 2011; "China Suspends New Nuclear Plant Approvals," China Daily (Edition in English), 15 June 2011, www.chinadialy.com; "China May Resume Giving Approvals to New Nuclear Plants-Official," BBC Monitoring Asia Pacific, 25 June 2011; "Experts: China Should Keep Nuclear Power Policy Stable," People's Daily (Edition in English), 25 May 2011; "Chinese Military Nuke Facilities Declared Safe," Global Security Newswire, 1 April 2011, www.gsn.nti.org.

  • A Fruitful Future for the United States and China: Altering the United States-Taiwan Relationship
    A FRUITFUL FUTURE FOR THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA: ALTERING THE UNITED STATES-TAIWAN RELATIONSHIP A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Kisha Céronne Kantasingh, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. December 4, 2012 A FRUITFUL FUTURE FOR THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA: ALTERING THE UNITED STATES-TAIWAN RELATIONSHIP Kisha Céronne Kantasingh, B.A. Chi Wang, Ph.D ABSTRACT This is an investigation of the delicate trilateral relationship between China, Taiwan, and the United States. Currently, the United States employs a policy of strategic ambiguity to deal with the contentious relationship between China and Taiwan. Strategic ambiguity allows the United States some flexibility in working with the government of China, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and the government of Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC). Two documents signed in the late seventies in the United States solidified our uncertain relationship with both the PRC and the ROC – the joint communiqué with China, which states that the United States recognizes that the People’s Republic of China is the sole and exclusive government of China, and the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), which declares that the United States will defend Taiwan in the case of a military attack. These two declarations have fossilized the tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
