The study first examines the background\r\nof U.S.-China security ties since the Nixon Administration, and then\r\nsets forth the parameters of the current debate by noting a number of issues\r\nconcerning U.S. military transfers to China on which all sides generally agree.\r\nIt shows that Americans familiar with the issue tend to identify with different\r\ngroups of opinion or \"schools of thought\" on the question of U.S. military\r\ntransfers to China, and provides a detailed pro-con analysis of the issue. It\r\nconcludes by noting cross pressures that are likely to greet U.S. policy makers\r\nas they grapple with this issue in the months ahead and offers an assessment\r\nof four policy options of possible use by U.S. policymakers.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORT", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "filename": "files/19810520_81-121_40e28612ece17b35e4a7af2a414a75dba9df6308.pdf" }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/19810520_81-121_40e28612ece17b35e4a7af2a414a75dba9df6308.html" } ], "topics": [ { "source": "LIV", "id": "Trade", "name": "Trade" }, { "source": "LIV", "id": "Arms sales - U.S. - China", "name": "Arms sales - U.S. - China" }, { "source": "LIV", "id": "Weapons systems", "name": "Weapons systems" } ] } ], "topics": [] }
