The Chinese part reiterates to the American part that only with an suitable treatment of the problem of Taiwan, will be able to be developed the relations between China and the United States. This last one must observe three joint official notices strictly Chinese-Americans, and mainly solve the problem of the sale from arms to Taiwan, in agreement with the Official notice of the 18 of August, with the purpose of to avoid serious damages to these relations. The American part showed that the government of Bush will continue persisting in the policy of a single China that has come implementing several previous governments, and will strictly observe three mentioned official notices. Qian expressed both that during their visit, both parts in the last felt like breaths by the fast development of the bilateral commercial relations years, and satisfied by the carried out successful dialog and the cooperation by countries with respect to the overcoming with the Asian financial crisis.

At the same time, the Chinese part sincerely expressed its preoccupation by the development of the system of anti-missile defense of the United States. The problem of Taiwan always has been the most important and more sensible subject of the relations Chinese-Americans. The 7 of March of 2000, the Department of Defense of the United States warned the Congress of that country that was prepared to sell 162 perfected antiaircraft missiles HAWK and necessary equipment to the elevation of the level of radar TPS-43F to the TPS-75V to Taiwan, by a total value of around 200 million dollars officially. The Chinese part set out its solemn protests to the American part, demanding energetically that this one observed three joint official notices Chinese-Americans and their corresponding commitments, and would totally recognize the gravity of the sale from arms Taiwan, it would correct the errors immediately, and it would stop all type of sale of arms to the island. The 7 of June, the Department of Defense announced two projects of sale from arms to Taiwan oriented to increase the capacity battle electronic and of navigation to little height of F-16 hunts, by total value of 234 million dollars. The 8 of June, the advisory minister of the China Embassy in the United States, There am Yafei, made managements with the American part on the matter.

On the following day, the Chinese vice-minister of RR.EE. Yang Jiechi summoned to the American ambassador in China, Joseph Pruher, to present/display the solemn and energetic protests to him to the American part, and to ask that this one observed in fact three joint official notices and the commitments by her contracted and would cancel immediately the plan of sale from arms to Taiwan. Otherwise, it had to assume the responsibility by all the consequences that of it were derived. The 30 of September, Sun Yuxi, spokesman of the Ministry of Outer Relations of China, clarified the solemn Chinese position with respect to the plan of sales of four games of arms on the part of the United States to Taiwan. China considers that the American behavior with respect to the problem of Taiwan demonstrates that country constitutes an important outer factor that it prevents the materialization of the pacific reunification of our country. If the United States maintains their opposite conduct to the commitments and continues with the sale from arms to Taiwan, of armaments especially advanced, like the Aegis destroyer, anti-missile Patriotic and the system, it will be sending an erroneous signal to the authorities of Taiwan, like a stimulus to the few separatists of the island in his activities to split the mother country, and consequently, its arrogance will rise, the relations will be harmed Chinese-Americans and the tension in the region of the Straits of Taiwan will intensify. This will not bring any benefit to the United States, that must recognize the gravity of the subject and stop galope of its mount on the brink of madness the precipice. The relations Chinese-Americans are in a very important stage in which we ahead took the work of the predecessors and abrimos new routes the future. As long as both parts strive jointly, and especially the American part persists in the policy of a single China and observes three joint official notices strictly Chinese-Americans, mainly in the appropriate treatment of the problem of Taiwan, the bilateral relations will continue being developed of maintained way.
