Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations
- Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations
The Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations of January 1, 1979, established official relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China.
Its announcement coincided with the ending of U.S. official recognition of the Republic of China, which was announced by President Jimmy Carter in December 1978. Carter also announced the withdrawal of all U.S. military personnel from Taiwan and the end to the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty signed with the ROC. However, the Taiwan Relations Act passed shortly thereafter continued to ensure American aid in the defense of Taiwan and unofficial relations in the form of the American Institute in Taiwan.
Beyond formal recognition, the communiqué reaffirms the principles agreed upon in the Shanghai Communiqué, released almost seven years earlier.
