Five Days In November Clint Hill Epub 11



Three days later, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Chairman Su Chi added that "While we continue to show our goodwill, Mainland China continues to tighten its 'one China principle.' Therefore, it is unnecessary for us to stick to our previous position. We shall clearly define equal footing in order to usher in better cross-strait relations toward the next century." From: "MAC Chairman Su Chi at July 12, 1999, Press Conference," Taipei Speaks Up: Special State-to-State Relationship, Republic of China's Policy Documents, Mainland Affairs Council, Executive Yuan, Republic of China, August 1999.


Presidents Obama and Hu issued their second U.S.-PRC Joint Statement, during Hu's state visit in Washington. While a joint statement would not refer to the TRA, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a speech five days prior that explicitly stated U.S. policy as guided by the three Joint Communiqués as well as the TRA and added a call for China to reduce military tension and deployments affecting Taiwan. President Obama cited the TRA in his remarks at the joint press conference. On January 25, AIT Chairman Ray Burghardt visited Taipei and discussed Hu's visit and the Joint Statement with President Ma Ying-jeou. President Ma noted that U.S. policy has been consistent with the TRA as well as the Six Assurances. In his press conference, Burghardt also reaffirmed aspects of the Six Assurances, assured that the United States was mindful of Taiwan, and clarified that the United States did not agree to issue the statement if China insisted on calling it another "communique" or including "core interests." In contrast to the Joint Statement of 2009, this Joint Statement did not repeat a reference to China's "core interests." The Joint Statement of 2011 added a new reference to the cross-strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) of 2010, which was pushed by the ruling KMT and President Ma but criticized by the opposition DPP. (PRC State Councilor Dai Bingguo issued an article in December 2010 that re-affirmed China's "core interests" as leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC); sovereignty and territorial integrity; and economic and social development.)
