Taiwan-U.S. Relations: Developments and Policy Implications

Kerry Dumbaugh | Congressional Research Service | 2009-05-01

This May 1, 2009, report of the Congressional Research Service looks at U.S.-Taiwan Relations.

The report attempts to shed light on such pressing U.S. policy questions as "how far the U.S. should go in trying to accommodate PRC sensitivities about Taiwan;" and "whether the United States should change its policy of not arbitrating or facilitating negotiations between Taiwan and the PRC in favor of a more direct, interventionist approach."

Referenced in the WPR blog post, "Dusting of U.S.-Taiwan Relations."
