Tentative Analysis On Bush-administration’s Taiwan Policy

Taiwan has been part of the sacred territory of China since the ancient time,it is the inviolable duty of all Chinese people,including the compatiots in Taiwan to accomplish the great task of the reunification of our motherland. However, because of historical and realistic factors, Taiwan has not returned to the motherland so far. Taiwan problem is a domestic problem of China, but it has the interference of external force all along. Taiwan problem is always the most key and sensitive problem in Sino-U.S. relationship, proper and foe handled for Taiwan problem will directly affect the Sino-U.S. relationship .The purpose of this paper is attempting to comb the historical locus of Bush-administration towards Taiwan and to find out strategy change and historical regularity, the findings may be of great reference to China’s policy-making involving Sino-U.S. relations and Taiwan problem.There are three dimensions around which analyses are made .The first is that the adjustment of Bush-administration policy process towards Taiwan .Bush turned his prefence of pro-Taiwanese inclination at earlier of his office to a reasonable restortion to traditional policy framwork. The second is that with the increasing changes of Taiwan ecological environment and China’s abruptly increasing Comprehensive strength, American control policy for China by Taiwan is obviously in lack of power, American are deeply concious of their poor in controling, but they have to .At the same time, a so-called“double clarity”pressure increases apparently, and risk increases , especially“pressures to deter Taiwan independence”. The third is that in view of the American historical feelings and the situation of two bank developments towards Taiwan policy, looking ahead into the future from it the trend of cross-straint relations.Bush-administration has maintained certain historical continuity towards Taiwn policy. The first is that the U.S-Taiwnan relationship was subordinate with Sino-U.S relationship. The second is that continuity implement the policy of double track for cross-straint relations. The third is that making contradictions that shows two policies between China mainland and Taiwan, jugglerying double clarity ,seeking to maintain present situations between the two sides. The fourth is to seek unchange in development and seek change in static state, keeping stability and maintaining present situation as an axle center. The fivth is to keep a balance between cross-straint by jugglery, and seek right actively in the triangle relations of the United States and Taiwan .Bush-administration is on the foundation of inheriting the predecessor towards Taiwan ,while showing the characteristic of current government , His policy is obvious and radical in the beginning of taking up the post for initial stage , as a result, its traditional cross-straint policy has got stern test. And Sino-U.S. relation worsens , the force of Taiwan independence protagonists get encouragement, cross-straint relations are rapidly tense.It is important to maintain stabilizition.Its adjustment of policy as follows: Firstly, two-way strategy is distinct .On the one hand not advocating to defence Taiwan, on the other hand declaring repeatedly not supporting Taiwan independence and opposing any unilateral change of status quo of either side. But the essence of the strategy was still remained regardless of the techenical change.The second is that keeping balance.Bush emphasize that America will stick to one China principle continuously, and comply with 3 Sino-U.S. joint communiques, it is outside not to support Taiwan to stand indepently , and emphasize that" the law with Taiwan" and defence Taiwan. It is known that America want to keep a balance between,“Joint Communique of the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China”and“Taiwan Relations Act”, on the one hand restraining for Taiwan independence , on the other hand,opposing Chinese continent to solve Taiwan problem by force . The third is that America deeply sense hinderance pressure increasely. With China’s rising abruptly and getting strong , Taiwan political ecological environment changes , the tendency of Taiwan independence protagonists strengthens , the sense of crisis of America strengthens ,It falls into difficult choice condition. The fourth is that emphatic peaceful solution principle. On Taiwan problem, America more pays attention to the way of solving of problem . And by the restriction for the way of solving to keep the balance of steady and cross-straint relations of present situation .Because of the short of confidence in cross-straint problom, especially on one-China principle, there is the divergent and important dispute of ultimacy, America solves the restriction of way for cross-straint problems,which affects and restricts undoubtedly the process of cross-straint relations solving , If American excessly emphasize present situation steady, It will cause absolutized and programed, its result is the core one-China policy has been further hollowed .Taking history as a mirror, we may know ups and downs , gain and loss. Based on the review and analysis of Bush-administration in Taiwan policy, there are important realistic meanings for me to deal with Sino-U.S relations and Taiwan problem. Only just mastering the law and feature of American policy towards Taiwan, can we win Active right in the triangle relation of United States and Taiwan, and accomplish great cause of reunification to make new one step.
