Carter to Recognize China and Break Ties With Taiwan
President Carter announces full diplomatic recognition of the People’s Republic of China on New Year’s Day and plans to sever relations with Taiwan. Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping will visit Washington in January as ambassadors are exchanged and embassies open March 1, while U.S. defense ties with Taiwan will end. The move sparks praise from Ford and Kissinger but sharp criticism from Taiwan’s Chiang Ching-kuo and some U.S. lawmakers.
