The United States and Asia in 1996: under renovation, but open for business
Article Abstract:
US-Asian relations were tumultuous in 1996. For instance, US and China conflicted over Taiwan at the beginning of the year, but this was followed by high-level policy discussions between the Chinese defense minister and US officials. US-Japanese relations were also strained but had improved considerably. America's Asian policy lacked clarity during Pres. Clinton's first term in office, but has shown some measure of closure at the end of 1996.
