Jimmy Carter on China

Established relations with China; cut ties to Taiwan

Carter inaugurated full diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in 1979, thus cutting formal U. S. ties with the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan. Conservative forces severely criticized the treaties as a “sellout” of vital American interests. Source: Grolier’s Encyclopedia, “The Presidency” Dec 25, 2000
