This book explores relations between the U.S. and China, focusing in particular on China policy in the U.S. Congress, which has been unusually active in the development of this relationship, and the most controversial issues in US-China relations: Taiwan, trade and human rights

Die Beziehungen der VR China zu Zaire werden von der gemeinsamen Frontstellung gegen die Sowjetunion geprägt, wie auch die chinesischen Kommentare zum Zaire-Konflikt, die in zahlreichen Auszügen wiedergegeben werden, zeigen. (DÜI-Sch)

This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of China bills introduced and passed in Congress in 1973-2005. Three important findings emerge. First, many more punitive China bills were introduced and passed in the House than in the Senate. Second, the two congressional parties agreed with each other most of the time on roll call votes related to China. Third, the major events in US-China relations largely determined the ebb and flow of China bills. Negative binomial regression analysis sheds further light on the dynamic of China policymaking on Capitol Hill. A Republican majority in the House facing off with a Democratic president brought about many more China bills. Also, there appears to be a significant gap between public opinion and congressional attitudes on China policy. Finally, the Tiananmen Incident has had a profound impact on Congress, making it much more active and punitive in China policy since then. I conclude the paper by briefly discussing the policy implications of my findings. (J Contemp China/GIGA)
