On May 14, 1960, the East-West Center was officially created by the
Congress of the United States. As a part of the celebration of the
twentieth anniversary of this event, a symposium was held on May
19, 1980, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
The subject China and the Nations of the Pacific was selected
because the theme for the anniversary year of the East-West Center
had been established as Building a Pacific Community. It has been
suggested that international mechanisms for coming to grips with
such interdependencies in the Pacific region as trade, investment,
food, energy, and mineral commodities are inadequate. In response
to such suggestions, hearings have been held in both houses of the
Congress of the United States on the idea of a Pacific community.
This symposium was organized as part of that general discussion.
The contributors’ hope that the papers presented here will
further stimulate thought and debate on the problems of the Pacific
region.
The nations that border the Pacific Ocean are becoming increasingly
interdependent, and trade among them-a major cohesive force-has
already reached substantial proportions. China Among the Nations of
the Pacific examines this new order, focusing on events in China
and on how the PRC will affect and interact with its Pacific
neighbors as it looks outward from its former isolation. The
authors-all recognized authorities-address such fundamental issues
as China's economy, demographics, food and energy supplies, and
relations with the rest of Asia. Will China become a major exporter
of energy? Will it remain a major importer of food? Is China
destined to become one of Japan's major suppliers of raw materials?
Can China resolve its maritime jurisdiction disputes with
neighboring countries? How will the perceptions of the nations of
Southeast Asia concerning China and the Chinese influence the
future course of events? The discussion of these and other
questions adds a new dimension to the study of China's external
relations.
