    • Abstract:
      Both the communist People’s Republic of China (PRC), on the mainland, and the rival nationalist Republic of China (ROC), on the island of Taiwan, claimed to be the one and only seat of the Chinese government. Taiwan was an ally of the United States, but as U.S.-PRC relations warmed in the 1970’s, the United States downgraded its diplomatic relations with the nationalist government.
