Editorial Reviews

Copper assesses the Taiwan Relations Act of April 1979 (when Congress seemed to recreate a two-China or a one-China/one-Taiwan policy) in terms of its role in guiding or determining US China policy, in preserving the sovereignty of Taiwan, in promoting democracy there, and in resolving the "Taiwan issue".
