Can two-Chinas co-exist in the present world order? In a sense they
co-exist now-Free China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Communist China on

are faced with serious difficulties. Free China and Communist China
co exist at present simply because neither can effectively alter
the situa tion. Each is backed by a power bloc that recognizes the
legal existence of only one of these political regimes. The United
States does not re cognize Peiping, even though it has conducted
meetings on the ambas sadorial level with the Regime for several
years. In a corresponding way, the Soviet bloc of nations refuses
to recognize Nationalist China. The situation is very similar to
that of two-Germanys, two-Koreas and two-Vietnams. To seek a
solution to this political impasse, it is suggested that a
"Sino-Formosan State" or some kind of "self-determination" by the
Formosans be instituted. This was first expressed by Chester Bowles
in his article "The China Problem Reconsidered" (Foreign Affairs,

Report of 1959 held the same posi. tion. Also, Arnold J.
