Conventional wisdom holds that the President enjoys the
preponderance of foreign policy power, however Congress has
influenced China policymaking more than is generally recognized.
The legislature has demonstrated consistent interests in the realm
of China policy, and it has invariably pursued those interests
through law-making. During the post-Cold War period in particular,
the Sino-U.S. relationship has evolved in a radically changing
international environment, marked by a power transition inherent in
China's rise. The development of official relations between
Washington and Beijing during the Cold War occurred in the shadow
of an assertive Soviet power, when the United States and China were
able to find common geopolitical ground in opposing Soviet
expansion while overlooking longstanding political disagreements.
The dissolution of the Soviet empire, however, put the United
States and China on a new geostrategic footing. Political
disagreements were no longer exempted in light of a counter-Soviet
strategy, and the reduction in concern for the Soviet threat
allowed policymakers in Washington to more aggressively pursue
trade interests that conflicted with those of China. Given this
international context, this book aims to discern how Congress
reconciled competing Sino-U.S. interests in a post-Cold War era,
when external threats no longer dictated an apparent hierarchy that
favored China over the Soviet Union. This work will be of interest
to students and scholars of US foreign policy, China Studies and
international relations in general.
