On The Principle Of Separating Economics And Politics In Japan's China Policy During The Cold War (1952-1964)

From the sign of San Francisco Peace Treaty to the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1972, before the Government of Japan to China has been pursuing a "political and economic separation" principle. The so-called political and economic isolation, that is, on the one hand following the U.S. recognition of Taiwan as China's official national government administration; the other side's non-governmental economic and trade exchanges with the mainland. Political and economic separation of the concept of broad and narrow sense, the broad principles of political and economic isolation means between the two countries although there is no law on the establishment of diplomatic relations, but maintain a certain economic and cultural connections. Although the two do not recognize each other, but can the economic and cultural exchanges between the government area, or the signing of intergovernmental agreements, or even ambassador-level talks; narrow aspect is not only to separate politics and economics, and carrying out economic and cultural activities should be negotiated by the civil society organizations to deal with, not with the government or government-related organizations have relations. During the Cold War, China, Japan, repeated use of "political and economic separation" principle. This is because the Japanese leader's political philosophy and understanding of the political and economic separation of the decision. Requested by the Chinese Government is a broad political and economic isolation. This makes the twists and turns in the Japanese trade agreements.This dissertation is divided into four parts, concerning relations with China, Japan, also involving a US-Japan relations, Japan-Taiwan relations and the Japanese government changed. In a sense, this is a change in U.S. policy toward China from the perspective of Japan's political and economic isolation.The first part of the political and economic isolation resulting from the international background of the Cold War spread to East Asia, Japan and China after making belong to different camps. Shigeru Yoshida of Japan in order to achieve independence, had to shelve political relations with China to obey the wishes of the U.S. recognition of Taiwan. But Yoshida did not give up economic and trade exchanges with China's long-cherished wish.The second part described the preliminary practice of political and economic isolation and frustration. First, the parties discussed the anti-Yoshida Yoshida inherited this foreign concept, and its initial implementation to achieve the economic and trade exchanges between China and Japan, of which the main Kishi's Cabinet; Secondly, we explore the political and economic isolation Xingshi frustrated because the main that is different from each other's diplomatic orientation, which led to two of the "political and economic isolation," understand the controversy, ultimately making the little economic ties to a halt.The third part discusses the Ikeda Cabinet of Prime Minister Kishi learned the lessons of Japan's internal and external strategies to lead economic development. He also promptly adjust its relations with China, Japan, re-opened in the day of the civil economic and trade exchanges, the separation of political and economic development as a quasi-governmental nature, that is a broad political and economic isolation. But such a move opposed by Taiwan and the United States, especially in Taiwan, not to spare the Japanese from the islands within the outward pressure on the government to make political and economic isolation in a precarious state.The fourth part of the political and economic separation of deep awareness, including two aspects: First, Japan's real and the U.S. administration by the separation is inseparable from the Japanese policy toward China. Not only that, the United States do everything possible to put pressure on Japan to undermine Sino-Japanese economic and trade exchanges; the other hand, Japan's political and economic isolation as a means to split Taiwan. The method is the political recognition of Taiwan's economic exchanges with the mainland. This principle can be used to blackmail both the mainland and Taiwan has been coerced to achieve the objective of Taiwan split from China.
