The issue that I am mainly concerned with is the one-China principle which is set to have Taiwan ruled by the Communist party and no longer be a democratic entity and China would have sovereignty over Taiwan. Clinton had long urged that the USA continue to abandon talks with Taiwan and stuck to that policy during much of his term as president, this had been a long standing rule in the USA for more than two decades. However the Bush administration has chosen to recognize Taiwan as a and allow their president Chen Shui-bain to arrive in the USA and meet with Congress. China is now in a very difficult position with such actions taking place, the USA is making them lose face, which according to Chinese culture and social practice is a very severely offensive action, damaging the ego and integrity of China. America is leaving China no choice but to back away from any goodwill that has been generate in the past. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi said on June 4, 2001 that China firmly opposes the United States allowing Taiwan leader to visit the USA. "We demand that the U.S. government stop taking advantage of the Taiwan issue to interfere in internal affairs in China" Sun said. (Xinhua News p1) The USA is not honoring its promise to not make any form of contracts with Taiwan and has clearly now through Bush offered our help, aligning the US against China. If this is allowed to continue to escalate in the next year it seems that China will have no choice but to offer much adversity to the USA in future dealings and relations. The crash of a USA surveillance plane over the south China sea was yet another blow to the Sino-American relationship. The United States showed proof that the plane was slow moving and could not have caused the accident while China's point of view was that the US pilots targeted and deliberately struck out at their fighter jets. One of the fighter jets reportedly bumped the wing of the US plane which them issued a distress call.
