The U.S. Arms Policy and Taiwan From the 1970's to the 1990's

Before Nixon decided to normalize China and China in 1971, the US weapons sales policy towards Taiwan was stable due to the Vietnam War and the global containment strategy. As Taiwan's options are limited and economic and defense capabilities are relatively weak, the United States has incorporated Taiwan into global policy without discussion so far. Lawyers and diplomats have been hired since 1972, especially since 1978, as false comprehensives of the People's Republic of China and the United States have allowed us to establish a new relationship with the People's Republic of China with Taiwan.

However, the relationship between China and Southeast Asia, East Asia is not a major foreign policy priority in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s. China is still focused on relations with the US, followed by the Soviet Union until the death of 1991. The United States is regarded as the key to the modernization and acceptance of China in the international community. When trying to break through the sanction network established by China in 1989, we will pay attention to Asian countries first. In these countries, China's viewpoint is different between America and the West. They believe that China is an Asian country with many of its own cultural traditions and social characteristics. Because some are personally documented, some do not want to spread value to China in western way.

In the 1990s, Taiwan began to pose a very complex challenge to the international community. The problem is that Taiwan is trying to overturn the "one China" policy. From the standpoint of Taiwan, the "one China" problem is very simple, so I do not want to become a member of the Chinese Communist government. As long as the conditions are formed based on mutual agreement, it will not exceed uniformity. Meanwhile, China's view on Taiwan is one of nationalism. China wants to control Taiwan through diplomatic means. Therefore, treating this problem as a single problem is pointless. In order to fully understand the problem, it is necessary to review the history of the situation and make a selection based on the information.

The democratization of Taiwan in the 1990s has complicated the efforts of the United States on Taiwan's security. It is the assumption that China's People's Republic of China will become a country that causes conflict. However, the emergence of the relationship between Taiwan's independent sentiment and the DPP is afraid that Taiwan leaders declare independence. Since the People's Republic of China considers the unity of the people as a fundamental political goal, we believe negative denial is the result of the possibility of war and peace. As a result, US policy makers have a new reason to be afraid they may have to act on the political commitments embodied in TRA. Late in the Lee Tegu and most cases
