Introduction
The phenomenon of cross-strait relations immensely influence the associations of the United States of America, China, and Taiwan. Different forms of considerations linked with the entire perspective of cross-strait relations. It is worthy to indicate that different strategic, political, and economic factors are closely involved in the entire scenario of cross-strait relations. Dramatic changes in the form of different events eventually make it difficult to achieve the objective of peace for all the shareholders. The perspective of cross-strait relations going through with different forms of transitions that ultimately leads to the new forms of development of the entire prospect. The approach of cross-strait relations considered as the prevailing connection between the geographical areas of China and Taiwan. This sort of relationship between these two countries is immensely complex because it indicates about the controversial and politically unstable relationship between Taiwan and China ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ZaZabHpq","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Clark)","plainCitation":"(Clark)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1997,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/ET5Z2DLR"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/ET5Z2DLR"],"itemData":{"id":1997,"type":"article-journal","title":"The Taiwan Relations Act and the US Balancing Role in Cross-Strait Relations","container-title":"American Journal of Chinese Studies","page":"3-18","author":[{"family":"Clark","given":"Cal"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2010"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Clark). This particular controversial association exist between these two countries from the time period when the national management of Taiwan was transferred from the country of Japan after World War II. The growing intervention of the US in the entire scenario of cross-strait relations changed the perspective of diplomatic association between the related countries. Here the particular focus is to critically investigate the existing evidence to examine how greatly dynamics of relations between the US, China, and Taiwan changes after the growing role of the United States of America.
Discussion
When it comes to the increasing role of the US in the case of cross-strait relations then this particular intervention can observe in many different forms. The US factor can never ignore when it comes to the development of the relationship between the two main stakeholders of China and Taiwan. This certain aspect eventually changes the existing relationship between the two strong countries of China and the United States of America. The sovereignty dispute between China and Taiwan ultimately turns as the major political concern at the global level. The government of the US used the element of the global issue to intervene in the entire domain of cross-strait relations between China and Taiwan. The super-power of the United States of America plays a central role in the entire rivalry approach exist between the countries of China and Taiwan. The foreign policy of America is established as the mandatory indicator to understand the different dimensions of the prospect of cross-strait relations. On the other hand, the triangular association between Beijing, Taipei, and Washington have enormously change the entire concern of sovereignty between China and Taiwan.
Detailed consideration of the history indicates that the countries of the US and China witnessed immensely cold relationships that ultimately appears in case of growing conflict between China and Taiwan. It is observed that after the era of war, America play its active role as the main support and security protector of Taiwan when it comes to the entire phenomenon of prevailing tension between the countries of China and Taiwan. Consideration of the role of the United States of America is important because it is characterised as an important indicator in the evolving form of cross-strait relations. Different time periods witnessed different forms of associations between the countries of China and Taiwan. This form of consideration greatly impacted by the increasing role of the US in the entire domain of consideration. The emerging form of 2008 is one considerable example when the government of the US strongly showed its presence in the entire scenario of the cross-strait relationships between the main shareholders of China and Taiwan. A comprehensive exploration of the historical eras between China, US, and Taiwan helps to determine about the growing role of the US considering the issue of authority between the regions of China and Taiwan.
Critical evaluation of the historical events of the last two decades clearly reveals that relations between these three countries became less stable with the passage of time. This form of consideration raises the concern that what are the major causes that lead to this particular situation. The increasing role of US is one factor linked with the overall development of the cross-strait relation. The aspects of change ultimately reveal in the form of dramatic change in foreign policies of these countries. Researchers established this fact that Washington plays its active role when it comes to forming and determine the relationship between the cities of Beijing and Taipei. It is established that the strategic perspective of cross-strait relations can never be considered complete without considering the triangular prospects of the US, China, and Taiwan. The active role of the US influenced by two major aspects of consideration ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"40SmgOMQ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Clark and Clark)","plainCitation":"(Clark and Clark)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1996,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/P3TMRIR2"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/P3TMRIR2"],"itemData":{"id":1996,"type":"book","title":"The Changing Dynamics of the Relations among China, Taiwan, and the United States","publisher":"Cambridge Scholars Pub.","URL":"https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=16InBwAAQBAJ","ISBN":"978-1-4438-2783-6","author":[{"family":"Clark","given":"C."},{"family":"Clark","given":"J."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Clark and Clark). These specific factors recognised as the strategic and economic interests of the United States of America in the entire case of cross-strait relation and existing tension between China and Taiwan. It is crucial to establish what are the main shares and benefits for America in the entire situation. This form of exploration further assists to figure out what is the actual role of the power of America in case of cross-strait relations. The features of anti-communism, human rights, development of the democracy, and the great form of economics are the other major factors that closely influence the increasing role of the United States of America in this region. The government of America determine to establish its foreign policy on these particular values. This form of consideration also appeared in case of growing tension between the governments of China and Taiwan and how US play its active role in this perspective.
Power transition during 2008 in Taiwan enormously changed the role of the United States of America in case of cross-strait association. Detailed understanding of the transition phase in Taiwan is essential to figure out the role of America before and after this form of development. Understanding of the historical background of the power conflict between China and Taiwan is critical to make better inferences about the increasing role of US in the form of a factor of change. It is claimed by the authorities of China that tension of authority between China and Taiwan is its internal issue and there is no need for external involvement. The growing prospect of triangular association in the form of roles of the US, China, and Taiwan reveals that the option of internal intervention can never fully ignore when it comes to the deep understanding of cross-strait association. The role of the US is established as the main contributor to the overall creation and maintenance of the issue of authority conflict between China and Taiwan also appeared in the form of cross-strait association. It is important to consider the active role of the United States of America in case of the existing conflict in China and Taiwan ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"9VJqapl5","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Roy)","plainCitation":"(Roy)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1998,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/88GNDRQ6"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/88GNDRQ6"],"itemData":{"id":1998,"type":"chapter","title":"The US-China-Taiwan Relationship: New Circumstances, Persistent Challenges","container-title":"The Future of United States, China, and Taiwan Relations","publisher":"Springer","page":"149-165","author":[{"family":"Roy","given":"Denny"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Roy). This form of consideration can eventually help to involve the approach of the US to propose better solutions to this growing issue. The dramatic transition of 2008 reveals that the policy of the US plays a vital role to reshape the prospect of a cross-strait relationship between the triangular domain of China, the United States of America, and Taiwan. The new reality of the cross-strait relations can never imagine without the increasing intervention of the US in the entire domain of consideration.
Adoption of the proactive policy by the government of the United States of America in 2008 is one major role that completely changes the political scene in Taiwan. This form of political development eventually makes the position strong for Taiwan in case of cross-strait relations. The authorities of the US play their role as the clear opposition when it comes to Chen Shui-bian’s program of UN referendum considering future complications. The officials of the US clearly indicate their point of view and strongly present their voice at the international level. The specific strategy with the name of “making a case to the Taiwanese people” was introduced by the government of the United States of America to show its strong appearance during the entire growing conflict. The aim of this form of an attempt at international level was to deliver clear support for the Taiwanese voters in case of UN referendum. The government of the US played its active and influential role to ensure the smooth transfer of political power in the country of Taiwan. This particular attempt by the country of the US is one major development that ultimately expands the active involvement of Washington in the form of cross-strait relations. Undoubtedly, the growing coordination of American authorities with the government of China makes it possible to attain the better form of outcomes in Taiwan in the form of the presidential election. Elimination of the role of the DPP government in Taiwan ultimately reduces the probability of the military showdown in the region. This approach is one major objective of America in the region that is achieved in the form of no war. The outcomes of the presidential election in Taiwan also explicitly indicate about the active intervention of the United States of America in the form of political dominance.
On the other hand, it is also critical to mention that the new developments in Taiwan in the form of presidential election cause a new form of challenges for the government of the US. This particular time period was a major domain that enhances the role of the US in this region. The officials of the country of the United States of America play their role to determine the factor of status-quo in the country of Taiwan. Prior to the political change in Taiwan, the authority of the US come up with the consideration that the element of status-quo in Taiwan needs to be defined by the US to ensure its active involvement in the entire paradigm of the cross-strait association. The active role of the US appeared in the form of playing its role as the mediator when there was no direct connection between Beijing and Taipei. That was the particular time when the government of the US play its role to define the prospect of status quo in case of cross-strait relations. The growing role of the US was greatly acknowledged by the new administration of Ma Ying-jeou in Taiwan. It was assured by the new government of Taiwan that the prospect of negotiation with China in the form of unification is not possible in the form of Taiwan Straits. This form of reassurance from the administration of Taiwan considered the existing political form in the country in the form of cross-strait relations. It is critical to indicate that the government of the US played its active role after the presidential election of 2008 in Taiwan. The authorities of Washington invites both the stakeholders of Beijing and Taipei to reopen the significant option of dialogue. The main objective of this form of the proposal was to ensure the improved form of cross-strait relations by successfully adopting different available options. The government of the US claimed this phenomenon as the major opportunity for the authorities of China and Taiwan to find better consensus about the growing tension of authority ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"HwqErMvb","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Wang)","plainCitation":"(Wang)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1995,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/9PKUFLWW"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/9PKUFLWW"],"itemData":{"id":1995,"type":"article-journal","title":"United States and Evolving Cross-Strait Relations","container-title":"Journal of Chinese Political Science","page":"351-369","volume":"15","issue":"4","author":[{"family":"Wang","given":"Jianwei"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2010"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Wang). The involvement of the US in the entire scenario of cross-strait relations is immense as it is identified that President Bush personally called the officials of Taiwan and China to grab this major opportunity to build strong relations for future.
The main objective of the growing role of the US is to ensure the better forms of negotiations between the authorities of Beijing and Taipei. Arrangement of different forms of dialogues are the clear and positive examples of the active role of the US to build effective forms of cross-strait relations. The particular aim was continuously endorsed by the officials of America at different forums. The initiative of ECFA is one significant example to indicate the active involvement of the United States of America in the entire domain of negotiation between the regions of China and Taiwan. It was clearly indicated by the authorities of the country of the US that Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) is the great attempt to achieve the better forms of relations across the two countries in the form of a new phase of negotiation. Proper maintenance of the status quo in the region of Taiwan is another objective of the US that ensures its active involvement in the broader perspective of cross-strait relations. The authorities of the US actively show their concern in case of maintenance of the status quo for the region of Taiwan. The main focus of this particular concern is to assure the proper avoidance of the issue of disruption of dialogue between the concerned authorities.
Development of better political interaction with the government of Taiwan is one major concern of the US that appeared after the presidential election of 2008 in Taiwan. The government of the US attempt particular practical measures to minimise the restriction in the form of developing active communication between the officials of both countries. The authorities of the US seriously focused the prospect to formulate proper policy to propose better forms of political association between the US and Taiwan. It is important to indicate that this form of development of political relation between the US and Taiwan ultimately cause some form of anxiety for the government of China. This sort of concern was positively and sensibly catered by the authorities of the US to build a stable association with the government of China in the form of active dialogues. Military relations between the US and Taiwan is another major perspective that indicates the growing role of the United States of America in the scenario of cross-strait relation. Military development is one major concern for the government of China as it was perceived as the threat to their claim of power in the region of Taiwan.
Conclusion
To conclude the discussion about the active role of the United States of America in cross-strait relation, it is important to indicate that the increasing involvement of the US changes different dimensions in case of existing association between the shareholders. The country of the US established as the major shareholder when it comes to the consideration of the issue of power conflict between China and Taiwan at the international level. The perspective of the status quo in Taiwan is one major aspect of concern for the authorities of the United States of America to achieve the objective of equality of power. Dealing with the new political developments in the form of cross-strait relations between these countries cause different forms of challenges for the country of the US. The major achievement for the US from the entire new development of cross-strait relations is the exclusion of the concern of military tension.
