中美建交初期两国军事与安全合作的初步发展

The Preliminary Development of U.S.-China Military and Security Cooperation in the Late 1970s

1979年中美建交后,两国关系获得较为全面的发展,除经贸、文化科技交流和人员往来增加之外,军事交流也取得某些突破。卡特政府起初对两国军事交流持谨慎态度,但苏军入侵阿富汗后,美国对华军事与安全合作政策发生转变,采取了有限开放的态度。不过,由于中美隔阂太久,疑虑未除,美国国内反华亲台势力仍有很大影响,加之中国财力有限,两国的军事合作有所发展但成果相对有限。

Since the U. S.-China diplomatic relations was established, besides the development of economic- trade, science and technology exchanges, the U. S.-China military cooperation also had made some break- through. The Carter administration＇ s military policy toward China was very cautious at the early time. Since the So- viet invasion to Afghanistan, U. S. government began to change its position and lift some military trade restrictions to China. However, the two countries still could not fully trust each other because of the long estrangement in the past. Furthermore, due to the pro-Taiwan American politicians＇ interference and the limits of China＇ s financial resources, there was some but limited progress achieved in the U. S. -China military cooperation.
