    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.

  • 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. This thesis argues that the United States is breeding mistrust with both China and Taiwan, and at the same time, China and Taiwan have initiated pseudo- unification through economic and social policies.
