2. Weapons in, weapons out!– In 1999, multiple charges surfaced that China
had stolen nuclear secrets from the U.S. That March, American scientist Wen Ho Lee, who was born in Taiwan, was arrested for transferring classified data to unsecured computers with the supposed intent of passing the information to the PRC.

• Weapons in, weapons out!– In May 1999, the House Select Committee on U.S.
National Security and Military/ Commercial Concerns with the PRC issued a report, the Cox Report, alleging that China had stolen U.S. nuclear secrets over a prolonged period, allowing it to quickly modernize its nuclear forces.

3. Taiwan: Between Reassurance and Deterrence– In July 1999, Taiwan’s “president” Lee Tenghui told a
reporter that Taiwan and the PRC had “special state-to-state relations”, and in March 2000, Chen Shuibian was elected president.
Our policy remains firm. It is up to the two sides to resolve their
differences directly and peacefully. We should stay out of the middle. That does not mean that we will be inactive. We will work hard to expand the strong web of unofficial relations …to the people on Taiwan and … work equally hard to improve our relations with Beijing……
----------Susan Shirk, deputy assistant secretary of state for China, Taiwan and HongKong, May 20, 1998

4. PNTR: Trade and Human Rights– In 2000, the US Congress considered whether to
provide China permanent MFN---permanent normal trade relations (PNTR). The 2000 deliberations took on added significance because if granted PNTR, this potential carrot (or stick) would no longer be available to US policymakers. President Clinton granted China PNTR upon its entry into the WTO, which occurred in late 2001.

9. Chen Shuibian, a trouble-maker in China-US relations– the Anti-secession law in 2005– China has said the law is by no means a so-called "law on the use
of force against Taiwan" or a so-called "war mobilization order." China would only use "non-peaceful means" to stop Taiwan'ssecession should all efforts for a peaceful reunification prove futile.

the international financial crisis also means an opportunity for China to upgrade its economic structure, increase its influence in international affairs, and participate in the reform of the order.
