Features: In the decision-making process of the U.S. security policy toward China, what roles do the President and Congress play respectively? What kind of influence do they exert? Why does Congress attempt to challenge the President in the issue of arms sales to Taiwan? Why does it submit to the President during several Taiwan Strait crises? In the construction of the U.S. strategic positioning toward China, how do Congress and the President coordinate and jointly uphold U.S. interests? This book will explore these mysteries with you and jointly interpret the twists and turns of U.S.-China security relations.
