ABSTRACT
Mr. Vance, secretary of state of the Carter administration, will visit China next month. The Vance visit will take place just after Eleventh Party Congress has been successfully convened. In making the arrangement for his visit, the authors consider the recent domestic and international situation beforehand. Prior to Vance's visit to China, he has been to Europe, and has also visited Israel and talked with some Middle East countries. At present, on the diplomatic front, the United States is anxious about solving the problems of peace negotiations for the Middle East, arms limitation with Soviet revisionism, the Rhodesian problem together with Britain, and normalization of relations between China and the United States. The US does not have the strength to deter the resolution of the Chinese people to liberate Taiwan.
