JIANG Jie-shi's Resistance to American Attempts to Internationalize the Question of Taiwan

After retreating to the Island of JIANG Jie-shi adopted the basic stand of resisting all the American attempts to internationalize the question of Taiwan. In the period from the late 1940s to the early 1950s, to counter the American clamor for the undetermined status of Taiwan, JIANG affirmed once and again Cairo Declaration and insisted on the position that is an integral part of China, thus maintaining the sovereignty of China over Taiwan. During the Straits crises in the middle and late 1950s, JIANG held fast to Jinmen and Mazu islands, the links with the mainland, and refused the American demand to rule with the straits as the boundary in its attempt to create two Chinas'. Meanwhile, a tacit agreement was reached to a degree between him and the mainland in their common endeavor to defeat the American splittist activities. Beginning from the 1960s, taking advantage of the restoration of the seat of the Chinese government in the UN, American government try to bring out a fait accompli China and one Taiwan within the United Nations, in accordance with this conditions, Chinese people on both sides of the Straits, including the JIANG Jie-shi authorities in reached the common understanding that there should be only one central government representing the Chinese sovereignty and that is an integral part of China in their common efforts to foil the American scheme to split China in the name of the United Nations.
