Letter to the Editor
China and Taiwan
Jerry Grey’s article is excellent. I have just one addendum: It is recorded in Chiang Kai-shek’s diaries that at the time of the Nixon negotiations, he indicated that he was open to a two-state solution for China, along the lines of North and South Korea.
China, at that time, was much smaller than it is today, in economic terms. So yes, the decision to opt for a one-state solution was made in Washington, no doubt with input from boardrooms in the US from corporations eager to get their hands on the China market.
