Carter risks peace with China or Taiwan policy shift
The author argues President Carter can set foreign policy without Congress for recognition of the People’s Republic of China and outlines implications for Taiwan. He traces treaty history, assesses Soviet risk, argues for U.S. aid leverage, and weighs potential outcomes of abrogating the U.S.–Taiwan Security Treaty against broader global peace. The piece frames recognition as a gamble with wide continental impact.

Westoff and UN data showing European nations with few births.
