consistently upheld this position of principle in our approach to relations between states. We neither play the U.S. card nor the Soviet card. At the same time, we will never permit others to take China as a card. The Chinese mean what they say and they are serious

in their statements."

"The Chinese Government highly cherishes Sino-U.S. relations and hopes that they will continue to develop and not stand still, and still less move backward. I believe that far-sighted U.S. statesmen will also fully recognize the great significance of developing Sino-U.S. relations and take a positive approach," Huang Hua added.

["U.S. President Makes Statement in Violation of Sino-U.S. Joint Communique" XINHUA headline]

[Text] Washington, October 7 (XINHUA) --U.S. President Ronald Reagan violated the Sino-U.S. joint communique in a statement yesterday by making China's peaceful reunification a prerequisite for an end to the sales of U.S. arms to Taiwan.

He was answering questions by Republican candidates at the White House. While expressing U.S. willingness "to sincerely and honestly do our best to improve the relations with the People's Republic of China on the mainland, Reagan stressed that "there has been no reversal" in his policy toward Taiwan and that Taiwan will "get everything they need for their own self-defense."

Insisting on the "Taiwan Relations Act", Reagan arbitrarily linked U.S. arms sales to how China will achieve its reunification, an entirely internal affair of China.

He said: "If the People's Republic keeps their word that... they would try to resolve their differences (with. Taiwan) peacefully and arrive at a peaceful reunification... then there would be no longer any need for us to provide defense weapons and there would be a decline and an end at that time." Reagan's statement was an obvious violation of the Sino-U.S. joint communique.

Since the issuance of the communique on August 17, some U.S. Government officials have on It is obvious that many occasions made statements mis representing its spirit and letter. these statements are contrary to the wishes of the Chinese and American peoples for the further development of China-U.S. relations on the basis of strict implementation of the joint communique.

[Excerpts] Beijing, Oct. 9 (AFP) China today for the first time accused U.S. President Ronald Reagan of violating the August Sino-American communique that included a U.S. pledge to limit military aid to Taiwan.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry reacted to Mr Reagan's statements, saying: "U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and how China is to achieve Taiwan's return to the motherland are two questions entirely different in nature. Any remarks about a linkage between the two constitute an interference in our internal affairs," the ministry said (words indistinct] specifically mentioning the U.S. chief executive.

XINHUA: RENMIN RIBAO RAPS REAGAN'S ARMS SALES CONDITIONS

OW100737 BEIJING XINHUA IN ENGLISH 0719 GMT 10 OCT 82

(TEXT) BEIJING, OCTOBER 10 (XINHUA) -- U.S. PRESIDENT REAGAN'S STATEMENT WHICH ATTACHED A PREREQUISITE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHINA-U.S. JOINT COMMUNIQUE IS ABSOLUTELY SAYS THE PEOPLE'S DAILY IN A UNACCEPTABLE TO THE CHINESE PEOPLE, COMMENTARY TODAY.

11-450 O 83 14

IN A RECENT SPEECH MADE AT THE WHITE HOUSE, REAGAN MADE CHINA'S "PEACEFUL SOLUTION OF THE TAIWAN PROELEM A PREREQUISITE FUR AN END TO THE U.S. ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN. HE SAID THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WOULD ADHERE TO THE "TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT", THOUGH HE PLEDGED THAT HIS GOVERNMENT WILL "SINCERELY AND HONESTLY DO OUR BEST" TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

THE COMMENTARY SAYS REAGAN'S STATEMENT IS DIAMETRICALLY CONTRADICTORY TO THE CHINA-U.S. JOINT COMMUNIQUE AS WELL AS TO HIS REMARKS ABOUT "SINCERITY" TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

THE COMMENTARY SAYS THE JOINT COMMUNIQUE ISSUED

ON AUGUST 17 LAID DOWN THE PRINCIPLES BY WHICH THE U.S. ARMS SALES ISSUE SHOULD BE SOLVED, STEP BY STEP TILL IT IS THOROUGHLY SETTLED IN THE END. THAT MEANS, U.S. ARMS SALES TU TAIWAN SHOULD DE GRADUALLY REDUCED, AND, OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, FINALLY STOPPED. PREREQUISITE SHOULD OR COULD BE ATTACHED TO THIS.

NO

THE COMMENTARY REAFFIRMS THAT TAIWAN IS A PROVINCE OF CHINA, AND U.S. ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN CONSTITUTES AN INFRINGEMENT ON CHINA'S SOVEREIGNTY AND INTERFERENCE IN ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS, WHICH SHOULD COME TO AN END AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. AS TO HOW CHINA WILL SOLVE THE TAIWAN PROBLEM AND ACHIEVE REUNIFICATION, IT IS CHINA'S INTERNAL AFFAIR WHICH ALLOWS NO INTERFERENCE FROM ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY. IN THE CHINA-U.S. JOINT COMMUNIQUE BOTH SIDES REAFFIRM RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER'S SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY AND NON-INTERFERENCE IN EACH OTHER'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS AS THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES GUILDING RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. THIS CERTAINLY INCLUDES THE ISSUE OF U.S. ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN, THE COMMENTARY POINTS OUT.

HOWEVER, THE COMMENTARY NOTES, ONLY NEARLY TWO MONTHS AFTER THE JOINT COMMUNIQUE WAS ISSUED, THE U.S. LEADER CAME OUT TO SAY THAT THE U.S. WOULD REDUCE, AND STOP ITS ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN ONLY IF CHINA "KEEPS ITS WORD" ON "A PEACEFUL REUNIFICATION". THIS CANNOT BUT MAKE ONE DOUBT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S SINCERITY IN IMPLEMENTING THE COMMUNIQUE AND PROMOTING SINO-AMERICAN RELATIONS ON THIS EASIS.

THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PEUPLE IN THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE RELUCTANT TO GIVE UP THE POLICY OF "TWO CHINAS" OR "ONE CHINA, ONE TAIWAN", THE COMMENTARY CONTINUES. THEY LIVE IN THE 1980'S, BUT STILL CLING TO THE DULLES DOCTRINE OF THE 50S. THEY CONTINUE TO REGARD TAIWAN AS AN "UNSINKABLE AIRCRAFT CARRIER" AND PAY NU REGARD TO CHINA'S SOVEREIGNTY.

THOSE PEOPLE, THE COMMENTARY SAYS, "FIRST WENT ALL OUT TU ELOCK AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO OBSTRUCT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IT."

IT IS CHINA'S HOPE THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WOULD CHERISH ITS
RELATIONS WITH CHINA AND KEEP ITS OWN FAITH EY STRICTLY ADIDING
EY ITS COMMITMENTS STATED IN THE COMMUNIQUE, THE COMMENTARY
SAYS. ONLY EY SO DOING, COULD THE GESTACLE BY OVERCOME AND
THE SINO-AMERICAN RELATIONS BE FURTHER DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE DESIRE OF THE TWO PEOPLES, IT CONCLUDES.

["Short" commentary: "There Can Be No Preconditions for Implementing the Sino-U.S. Joint Communique"]

[Text] U.S. President Reagan stated when answering questions on Taiwan at a recent White House gathering that the United States would "genuinely and sincerely exert its utmost efforts" to improve relations with the PRC. However, he also stressed that the U.S. Government would continue to implement the "Taiwan Relations Act," and also announced: If the PRC keeps its pledged word on "striving for a peaceful solution" of its differences with Taiwan and "arrives at a peaceful reunification," there will be a "decline and an end" to U.S. arms sales to Taivan. Reagan has completely violated the spirit of the joint communique issued by the Chinese and U.S. Governments on 17 August by treating a peaceful solution of the Taiwan problem by China as a precondition for halting U.S.

arms sales to Taiwan, and this also conflicts with President Reagan's words about genuinely and sincerely improving relations with the PRC. The Chinese people will absolutely not agree with views like these.

The joint communique of the Chinese and U.S. Governments stipulated the principle of a phased and eventually complete solution to the issue of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, that is, the United States must gradually reduce its arms sales to Taiwan and completely halt them after a time. There cannot and should not be any preconditions on this point. Taiwan is a province of China, and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan infringe on China's sovereignty and constitute interference in China's internal affairs and should be terminated as soon as possible.

As for the manner of solving the problem of reunifying Taiwan with the motherland -that is China's internal affair, and no foreign country may interfere in it. The Sino-U.S. joint communique reiterated that mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and mutual noninterference in internal affairs constituted the guideline for all aspects of relations between the two countries; and this naturally includes the issue of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The U.S. side solemnly stated that it had no intention of violating China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, of interfering in China's internal affairs, and of pursuing a policy of "two Chinas" or "one China and one Taiwan." Thus, from the day the communique was published, the United States should have carried out its undertaking to gradually reduce its arms sales to Taiwan and eventually completely solve this problem. Now, when the communique has been issued less than 2 months, U.S. Government leaders actually state that they want China to keep its "word" on "solving by peaceful means" the Taiwan problem before the United States will reduce and finally terminate its arms sales to Taiwan; hence, people cannot but doubt the U.S. Government's sincerity in implementing the communique and improving and developing Sino-U.S. relations on that basis.

There are now, as always, those forces in the United States who are unreconciled to abandoning the policy of "two Chinas" and "one China and one Taiwan." Though living in the 1980's, they stubbornly cling to the "Dulles ism" of the 1950's, continue to regard Taiwan as a U.S. "unsinkable aircraft carrier," and pay no heed whatsoever to China's sovereignty. From the very beginning they desperately opposed the agreement reached by China and the United States on the communique and, after its publication, they hampered the implementation of the agreement.

We hope that the U.S. Government will regard relations between the two countries and its own good faith as the most important things, clear away interference, abide by the agreement, and tangibly implement the relevant provisions and undertakings contained in the communique, so that Sino-U.S. relations will be able to overcome obstacles and continue to develop in accordance with the desire of the people of both countries.

KYODO, DENG XIAOPING RAPS U.S. TAIWAN POLICY

OW241020 Tokyo KYODO in English 1010 GMT 24 Oct 82

[Text] Beijing, Oct 24 KYODO Deng Xiaoping, China's strongman now head of the Chinese Communist Party Central Advisory Commission, Sunday expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the United States Government's policy toward Taiwan, including the sale of arms.

He made this remark at a one-hour meeting with Yoshikatsu Takeiri, chairman of the Komeito Party, now visiting Beijing at the invitation of the Chinese Government and party.

Deng stressed that serious troubles had developed in bilateral relations one after another since U.S. President Ronald Reagan assumed power at the outset of 1980, although it was China's persistent policy to develop further Beijing-Washington relations.

Deng revealed his displeasure with President Reagan's policy, saying U.S. diplomacy seemed to change drastically whenever a change in the U.S. leadership took place. There were too many cheap tricks played by the Reagan administration, he was quoted as saying.

Informed sources said Deng's remark, which was given in response to the questions raised by Takeiri, was rather unusual one in denouncing the U.S. Government for its policy toward China. Deng insisted the Reagan administration has adopted the highest amount of arm sales by the Carter administration to Taiwan as the standard for arm sales to that island.

U.S. POLICY ON TAIWAN VIOLATES PRC SOVEREIGNTY

OW270257 Moscow in Mandarin to China 0700 GMT 25 Oct 82 [Alekseyev commentary]

[Excerpts] Listeners: On 25 October 1979 the legal rights of the People's Republic of China were restored at the 26th UN General Assembly. Soviet Sinologist Alekseyev has written a commentary on the event, entitled "In Defiance of U.S. Imperialists' Boycott." He writes:

The United States and other imperialist countries persistently obstructed the People's Republic of China from being admitted to the United Nations for 22 years. In those years, the Soviet Union and other socialist countries tenaciously fought for the restoration of the PRC's legal rights in this world organization.

When the United States, Britain and other capitalist countries concoted the notorious two Chinas policy, which later became the one-China, one-Taiwan policy, to obstruct the restoration of China's representative in the United Nations, the Soviet Union and other socialist countries refuted the absurd concept. The Soviet delegation issued a statement at the 11th UN General Assembly on 15 November 1956. In the world, there have never been two Chinas. There is only one China -- that is, the People's Republic of China.

The Soviet Union still keeps this position -- there is only one China, the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan is one of its provinces. Only the PRC Government has exclusive rights to settled all the questions concerning Taiwan's return to the motherland.

U.S. imperialists still pursue a two Chinas policy in dealing with the PRC. In April 1979, only 3 months after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the PRC, the U.S. Congress adopted Act No 2479 which affirms trade, cultural and other relations between the United States and Taiwan. The act contains stipulations on the U.S. commitment to supply arms to Taiwan and even to defend Taiwan in case of armed invasion. Therefore, the United States apparently ackonwledges only in name that Taiwan is part of China, while it continues to treat Taiwan as an independent state. Nothing has changed in the U.S. Embassy in Taipei except its signboard, which now reads the American Institute in Taiwan. American servicemen have not withdrawn from Taiwan and the U.S. fleet still patrols the Taiwan strait. The United States continues arms supplies to Taiwan and its political and economic relations with Taiwan continue to develop.

Not long ago, U.S. President Reagan said that the United States would never change its Taiwan policy. In other words, U.S. President Reagan has confirmed that the United States will not change its two Chinas policy, which disregards the Chinese people's national interests and grossly violates the PRC's sovereignty. Japan and other imperialist countries follow U.S. policy and hold the same position on the Taiwan issue. At present, Western countries have more than 10 so-called unofficial representative's offices in Taiwan.

Dr. Lyushun Shen

Visiting Fellow

Foreign Policy Research Institute, Philadelphia, PA A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF U. S. - CHINA JOINT COMMUNIQUE OF AUGUST 17, 1982

Para. 1

Reaffirmation of the Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations here seems to be the result of a U. S. demand. Given the fact that Paras. 3, 4 and 5 strongly connote U. S. recognition of Peking's sovereignty over Taiwan (see below), a reaffirmation of this sort would enable Washington to claim that there has been no change in U. S. longstanding position on the issue of Taiwan's sovereignty. Para. 2

This paragraph amounts to giving the PRC the right to interfere in U.S. arms sales to Taiwan on the basis of mistaken historical facts. The question of continued U.S. arms sales to Taiwan was not mentioned in any document, bilateral or unilateral, relating to U. S. -PRC normalization. The two sides then only made their respective stands known through news

conferences.

On the PRC side, this was done by then Premier Hua Guofeng

when he said in the conference:

"During the negotiations the U. S. side mentioned that after normalization it would continue to sell limited amount of arms to Taiwan for defensive purposes. We made it clear that we absolutely would not agree to this. In all discussions the Chinese side repeatedly made clear its position on this question. We held that after the normalization continued sales of arms to Taiwan by the United States would not conform to the principles of the normalization, would be detrimental to the peaceful liberation of Taiwan and would exercise an unfavorable influence on the peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific. region. So our two sides had differences on this point. Nevertheless,

we reached an agreement on the joint communique." (1)

It should be noted here that Mr. Hua did not state that the Chinese side "would raise the issue again following normalization" as the new communique claimed. The Peking regime did not raise the issue either when the Carter administration announced the sale of $280 million worth of arms to Taiwan in January 1980. It deserves further notice that in Mr. Hua's arguments against the sale, he did not maintain that the sale would constitute a violation of the PRC's sovereignty and interference in China's internal affairs as Peking now claims. In sum, Para. 2 of the new joint communique indicates complete and unnecessary U. S. concession to the PRC to entitle the latter to a say in the question of U. S. arms sales to Taiwan.

Para. 3

This paragraph reaffirms the principle of "respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in each other's internal affairs" as something which would "continue to govern all respects of their relations." However, if read together with the statement in Para. 4, "the Chinese government reiterates that the question of Taiwan is China's internal affair;" and that in Para. 5, "the U.S.) reiterates that it has no intention of infringing on Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity, or interfering in China's internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan," all these words clearly convey the impression of U. S. recognition of Peking's sovereignty over Taiwan and make the reaffirmation in Para. 1 meaningless.

:

The statement in Para. 5 is a standard
