Exts – CP Solves RelationsCP solves; arms sales are the biggest problem in U.S.-Sino tiesRogin, 11 (Josh, 1/13/11, “Is the Obama administration prepping another arms sale to Taiwan?,” Foreign Policy, graduate of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, worked at the House International Relations Committee, the Embassy of Japan, and the Brookings Institution, 2008-2009 National Press Foundation's Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellow, JPL) The U.S. policy of supporting Taiwan through sales of U.S. weapons is the biggest irritant in the increasingly complicated U.S.-China relationship. This week, just before Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to Washington, a potential new round of arms sales to Taiwan threatens to overshadow the Obama-Hu summit. Following the January 2010 sale of $6.4 billion of weapons to Taiwan, the Chinese cut off military-to-military relations with Washington. These relations were only restored this week during Defense Secretary Robert Gates' trip to Beijing, which was somewhat overshadowed by the first flight test of the People Liberation Army's new J-20 stealth fighter. The White House put off the last round of sales until after Obama's November 2009 trip to China. However, it only succeeded in delaying the inevitable Chinese outrage and now the Chinese are saying that no more sales will be tolerated. "United States arms sales to Taiwan seriously damaged China's core interests and we do not want to see that happen again, neither do we hope that the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan will again and further disrupt our bilateral and military-to-military relationship," Chinese Minister for National Defense Gen. Liang Guanglie said during a joint press conference with Gates Jan. 10. Relations good now; refusing to sell more arms key to prevent complete collapse of the relationshipMozur, 11 (Paul, 4/12/11, “Taiwan Seeks to Move U.S. on Arms Sales,” Wall Street Journal, writer for Wall Street Journal and Far Eastern Economic Journal, JPL) China still views Taiwan as a rebel province and has ratcheted up its protests against U.S. weapons sales to the island to the point where the issue threatens the entire bilateral relationship. Ties were frozen last year after U.S. President Barack Obama authorized the sale of $6.4 billion in arms, including missile systems and utility helicopters. Taiwan's request for new F-16 C/D fighters has been pending since 2006, and upgrades to its aging fleet of F-16 A/Bs, which were sold in 1992, have been on hold since 2009, according to a Congressional Research Service report released in February. Washington also is stalling on Taiwan's long-standing request for diesel-electric submarines. "The drill shows the administration is trying its best to get F-16 C/Ds, but we already know what to expect from Washington—it will be very, very quiet, to the point of being cold," said former Taiwan Deputy Defense Minister and current professor at Tamkang University, Chong Pin Lin. "After a year of tense relations, Washington and Beijing are currently enjoying a smooth ride, and Washington values that to the point that when the Taiwan issue comes up, it doesn't want to rock the boat," Mr. Lin said. Statements from Chinese leaders prove CP solves relationsUPI, 11 (United Press International, 5/7/11, “China renews objection to U.S. arms sales,” JPL) BEIJING, March 7 (UPI) -- The United States should stop selling arms to Taiwan in the interest of its relations with Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Monday. Speaking to reporters during the annual session of the National People's Congress in Beijing, Yang said his government firmly opposes these sales to Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory, although the two have had separate governments since 1949. The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama last year approved an arms sales package of more than $6 billion to Taiwan over strenuous objections from China. "We urge the United States to strictly abide by the principles and spirits of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques and the China-U.S. joint Statement," Yang said in his call to stop the arms sales. He said Washington should "take concrete actions to support the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations (between China and Taiwan)" and uphold overall interests of Sino-U.S. relations considering there is now "good atmosphere" between them, Xinhua reported. "What is important is to properly handle these differences on the basis of mutual respect," the state-run news agency quoted him as saying. Exts – More Sales ComingAbsent CP, more arms deals are coming.Mozur, 11 (Paul, 4/12/11, “Taiwan Seeks to Move U.S. on Arms Sales,” Wall Street Journal, writer for Wall Street Journal and Far Eastern Economic Journal, JPL) She added she expected upgrades to Taiwan's F-16A/B fighters to proceed before Taiwan's presidential elections next year. She said the weapons sales would likely come with inclusion of Taiwan in an extradition agreement and a visa-waiver policy, to recognize President Ma for pursuing policies such as a recent economic agreement with China, which the U.S. supports. A spokesman for the American Institute in Taiwan, the unofficial U.S. embassy, said U.S. defense representatives were observing the Han Kuang exercises, as part of routine interactions with Taiwan. The spokesperson also reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to sell arms to Taiwan for its defense under the Taiwan Relations Act. AT Sales Good – Taiwan RelationsArms deals not key to Taiwan relations; we can still defend themMozur, 11 (Paul, 4/12/11, “Taiwan Seeks to Move U.S. on Arms Sales,” Wall Street Journal, writer for Wall Street Journal and Far Eastern Economic Journal, JPL) Bonnie Glaser, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said she didn't think the U.S. was neglecting the Taiwan relationship and cautioned against viewing the U.S. commitment to Taiwan solely in terms of weapons sales, in particular, large and controversial hardware such as F-16s and submarines. "It has become very controversial as to whether or not this [F-16 C/D sale] is the right capability for Taiwan," she said. "The question is not whether or not we should continue to defend Taiwan, just what is the most effective way to do that." China wants cooperation; arms sales don’t deter them, they just undermine the relationshipChina Daily, 11 (China Daily News, 5/27/11, “Policy talk spotlights arms sales issue,” JPL) Though people should have greater confidence for a peaceful solution of this question over time, he said, arms sales wrongfully have become the dominant factor in the Taiwan question, which has severely hurt the relationship between China and the US. Beijing broke off military ties with the US in January last year after the US approved a $6 billion arms sale to Taiwan. China rejected a proposal in June for a visit by US Defense Secretary Robert Gates. With efforts from both sides, the tension has been eased and the ties rebuilt after a series of high-level official exchanges, especially after the state visit to the US by President Hu Jintao in January. During his trip to the US last week, Chen Bingde, chief of the General Staff of the People’s Liberation Army, also reiterated that if the Pentagon goes ahead with additional arms sales to Taiwan, it would definitely undermine Sino-US military relations. “The US and China have common interests in peaceful resolution. That’s the driving factor in the cross-Straits relationship, not the arms sales,” said Roy, the former ambassador and director of Kissinger Institute on China and the US at Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. He suggested that Washington should rethink whether it needs to maintain the same level of arms sales to Taiwan under the new circumstances, while Beijing should rethink how to deal with the arms sales and the cross- Straits ties.
