Nixon Concedes on Taiwan in Shanghai Talks

The Foreign Ministry restated ROC claims, rejected coexistence with Beijing, and vowed renewed efforts for freeing mainland China. Public reaction in Taiwan included shock at the communique and signals of possible troop cutbacks. Nixon returned to Alaska and then the United States, framing the week as a world-changing mission with mixed implications for Taiwan.
