On The U.s. Arms Of "strategic Ambiguity"

The purpose of this paper is to find out the characteristics of the American strategic ambiguity policy toward Taiwan under American government after the foundation of PRC on the basis of analysis of the strategic ambiguity policy evolution track with a strong belief that the findings may be of great reference to China's policymaking involved in Sino-U.S. relations and Taiwan issue.There are two dimensions around which analyses are made. One is the turn track in the America government's strategic ambiguity policy shift. The other dimension is the reason, effect and the fatal defection of American government strategic ambiguity policy toward Taiwan, and this policy gives us many apocalypses.Based on the review and analysis of Bush's Taiwan policy there are also several implications that we can find to be of great reference to China's handling of Sino-US relations and cross-strait relations. We must be aware of that the ultimate solving of Taiwan issue has to be a long and difficult process. We must consolidate the strategic mutual benefit base between China and America. We must be fully aware of that Taiwan issue is ultimately an issue of Chinese of both sides of the Strait. We know that keeping and exerting moderate pressure on America about Taiwan issue is an effective means. We now know that Taiwan is not only a passive actor in the triangular structure it could be very active and provocative so that the US may lose control and lose confidence. We must further strengthen the credibility of our military deterrence. This is the base of earning peace, earning time and keeping the initiative.
