This paper aims to analyze the origins and implications of the US’s "One China Policy" for the current US’s Taiwan Policy. Although, the US had recognized the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of whole China in 1979, Washington never explicitly recognized the Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan, and insists to maintain the American commitment to defend Taiwan in case of Chinese aggression. The article concludes that the “One China Policy” is de facto an ambiguous strategy adopted by the US to maintain official diplomatic relations with China and unofficial with Taiwan, in order to maintain the status quo in the Asia-Pacific region.
RESUMO
Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as origens, desenvolvimento e implicações da "One China Policy" dos Estados Unidos (EUA) para a atual politica de Taiwan dos EUA. Embora desde 1979, os EUA reconheçam a República Popular da China o único governo legal de toda a China, Washington nunca explicitou que reconhece a soberania chinesa sobre Taiwan, e insiste em manter o compromisso americano de defender Taiwan in caso de agressão chinesa. O artigo conclui que a “One China Policy” é de facto uma estratégia ambígua adotada pelos EUA para manter relações diplomáticas oficiais com a China, e não oficiais com Taiwan, com o proposito de manter o status quo na região da Ásia-Pacifico.
