National security decisionmaking under stress or crisis management
is something with which I have had some firsthand experience over
the course of my career in government service. Most relevant to the
topic of this edited volume is my tour of duty as U.S. Ambassador
in Beijing which began in May 1989-a month before Tiananmen of June
3 and 4. In my position as chief U.S. diplomat in China, I was an
actor and an observer-along with many dedicated and resourceful
U.S. Embassy personnel-to the events that constituted a case study
of Chinese communist crisis management. My colleagues and I were
witnesses to what, in my judgment, constituted one of the gravest
crises to the communists' control of China since 1949. We engaged
the Chinese leadership during this time of tension and precipitous
action.
