It surveys how the two powers＇ policies have evolved during the period 1949-2009 and makes numerical evaluations of the degree of ＂supportiveness＂ of American policy toward the ROC and the degree of ＂aggressiveness＂ of the PRC＇s policies. The evaluations are charted. The paper observes that the US and the PRC have been engaged in a kind of ＂ negotiation-by-move-and-countermove＂ over this period. This form of interaction is found to be slow-motion and not very effective for resolving differences between the two sides. However, the need for a formal resolution of the island＇s political-legal status becomes less important as the trade, investment, and people-to-people linkages between the two Chinese entities increase. There appears to be a huge potential for an ever-greater convergence of the two powers＇ economic desires for Taiwan even while the issue of their respective stances towards its legal-political-military status may not be resolved for quite a while.展开更多
