The Taiwan Issue in Sino-American Strategic Relations: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Taiwan Issue in Sino-American Strategic Relations" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The first two years of the Reagan administration saw a close correlation between improved unofficial relations between Washington and Taipei and a deterioration of strategic cooperation between Washington and Beijing. These developments led many U.S. officials and scholars to conclude that U.S. security interests may require periodic concessions over Taiwan to ensure China s cooperation in countering the Soviet threat. Rejecting this view, Mr. Lasater argues that Washingtons and Beijings bilateral relations with Moscow and not the Taiwan issue are the key international determinants of Sino-American strategic cooperation. Examining the parameters of that cooperation and the role of Taiwan in Sino-American relations, Mr. Lasater suggests that Beijing is deliberately using U.S. security concerns to seek concessions on Taiwan and other issues. He advises a policy that stands firm in negotiations with the Chinese and that resists the temptation to make politically expedient concessions--a more balanced course of action whereby improved relations with Beijing are sought concurrently with the maintenance of friendly, unofficial ties with Taipei.

Westview Replica Editions
The concept of Westview Replica Editions is a response to the continuing crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed. Ever larger portions of general library budgets are being diverted from the purchase of books and used for data banks, computers, micromedia, and other methods of information retrieval. Interlibrary loan structures further reduce the edition sizes required to satisfy the needs of the scholarly community. Economic pressures on the university presses and the few private scholarly publishing companies have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. As a result, many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are no longer economically viable publishing projects--or, if accepted for publication, are typically subject to lead times ranging from one to three years.
Westview Replica Editions are our practical solution to the problem. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form, typed according to our specifications, and move it immediately into the production process. As always, the selection criteria include the importance of the subject, the works contribution to scholarship, and its insight, originality of thought, and excellence of exposition. The responsibility for editing and proofreading lies with the author or sponsoring institution. We prepare chapter headings and display pages, file for copyright, and obtain Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data. A detailed manual contains simple instructions for preparing the final typescript, and our editorial staff is always available to answer questions.
The end result is a book printed on acid-free paper and bound in sturdy library-quality soft covers. We manufacture these books ourselves using equipment that does not require a lengthy make- ready process and that allows us to publish first editions of 300 to 600 copies and to reprint even smaller quantities as needed. Thus, we can produce Replica Editions quickly and can keep even very specialized books in print as long as there is a demand for them.

I am indebted to many individuals in official and unofficial capacities for their time and assistance in helping me to gather the information required to write this analysis. The research began in the fall of 1979. Special thanks goes to Colonel Angus M. Fraser (USMC, Ret.) for wading through the initial draft and making many helpful suggestions. I am also grateful to the Pacific Cultural Foundation for providing research and writing support during the early stages of the endeavor.

Introduction
Introduction
The initial decision on the part of the United States to normalize Sino-American relations was based upon perceptions of the Soviet Union as a mutual threat to both countries. The two chief American architects of improved relations with the PRC, President Richard Nixon and his national security affairs advisor Henry Kissinger, have both referred to this strategic imperative as the motive behind their efforts to establish a cooperative relationship with China during 19691972. President Nixon wrote in the New York Times on October 11, 1982:
The key factor that brought us together ten years ago was our common concern with the Soviet threat, and our recognition that we had a better chance of containing that threat if we replaced hostility with cooperation between Peking and Washington. This overriding strategic concern dominated our dialogue, and our relationship, during the first decade.
Henry Kissinger, in a guest editorial appearing in the January 30, 1983, issue of the Washington Post , described the strategic perspective of the Nixon Administration in this way:
What brought the two nations together was not sentiment but awareness of a common threat. There were powerful incentives for a rapprochement with China: to balance the Soviet Union, either to restrain it or to induce it to negotiate seriously; to isolate
Kissinger was even more explicit in his memoirs regarding the strategic origins of Sino-American relations. In White House Years he wrote: It had been the Soviet Union whose menace had brought China and us together; our cooperation reflected a geopolitical reality produced by concern at the growth of Soviet military power.
