Nixon and Taiwan in 1972: The Week That Didn’t Change the World

Arthur Waldron

Chapter Chapter 9 in The “One China” Dilemma, 2008, pp 159-178 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Almost forty years ago the United States astonished the world with a dramatic shift in Asian policy. Washington would abandon its long-time ally Taiwan, fully expecting that, after such a setback, the island would have no choice but to join China. China, at last able to act on the interest in containing the USSR that she shared with the United States, would become Washington’s chief interlocutor and partner in the Pacific.
