en 1978 w:Richard Nixon RN: the Memoirs of Richard Nixon https://archive.org/details/rnmemoirsofricha00nixo/ Grosset & Dunlap 0-448-14374-7 77-87793 760525066 7561812M 577 https://archive.org/details/rnmemoirsofricha00nixo/page/577/ Perhaps the most vitally important section of the Shanghai Communiqué was the provision that neither nation "should seek hegemony in the Asia Pacific region and each is opposed to efforts by any other country or group of countries to establish such hegemony." By agreeing to this provision both the P.R.C. and the United States were imposing restraints on themselves. But far more important, particularly as far as the Chinese were concerned, was that the provision subtly but unmistakably made it clear that we both would oppose efforts by the U.S.S.R. or any other major power to dominate Asia.
en 1980 Melvin Gurton; Byong-Moo Hwang China under Threat: The Politics of Strategy and Diplomacy https://archive.org/details/chinaunderthreat0000gurt/ w:Johns Hopkins University Press 0-8018-2397-8 80-7990 470966163 210 https://archive.org/details/chinaunderthreat0000gurt/page/210/ In Beijing’s view, in the absence of an explicit treaty provision, the central line of the main channel—the Thalweg principle—provided a legal basis for delimiting the boundary in the two rivers. On this basis, Beijing claimed that 600 of the rivers’ 700 islands—including Zhenbao Island on the Ussuri River, just 180 miles southwest of an important Soviet city, Khabarovsk—belonged to the P.R.C.
en 2011 w:Jimmy Carter w:White House Diary https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780312577193/ 978-0-312-57719-3 2010015544 712116640 26333774M 281 https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780312577193/page/281/ This visit, and its cause, was truly historic: until this point, our nation had never had diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.). Since the P.R.C's founding on October 1, 1949, the United States had maintained diplomatic ties exclusively with the political remnant of Nationalist China's forces that had been driven from the mainland to the island of Taiwan. This relationship had become deeply embedded in the commercial, media, political, and military establishments of our country. During this time, the P.R.C. was almost invariably referred to in political debates as "Red China" and "Communist," which had a negative connotation similar to the one "terrorist" has today. To me, Deng Xiaoping's welcome in Washington was an early indication of approval for the decision I had made to shift official diplomatic relations to mainland China.
