The Taiwan presidential election is too close to call. Polls show both incumbent Ma Ying-jeou of the Kuomintang（Nationalist Party）and Democratic Progressive Party candidate Tsai Ing-wen getting the support of about 45% of those expressing an opinion, with Soong Ch’u-yü（James）of the People First Party drawing about 5-8% of those responding. For the first time, Taiwan voters will also choose their legislature in the same election.
Cross-strait trade now exceeds $100 billion dollars a year. Products such as Apple’s iPhone illustrate how connected the economies have become（designed in California, engineered in Taiwan, and manufactured in China, consumed worldwide）. Will the election affect cross-strait ties? The U.S. recently announced a major $6.5 billion arms sale to Taiwan. How might U.S.-Taiwan ties be affected by the election outcomes.

To mark the fortieth anniversary of the historic Richard Nixon - Mao Zedong summit in Beijing, we will screen our new documentary on media coverage of the trip. While the outlines of the Nixon trip are familiar, the behind-the-scenes story of how that momentous event was covered is much less well-known. The film contains remarkable and previously unreleased footage of the Nixon visit, interviews with Chinese officials, people who worked for Nixon, as well as many of the journalistic luminaries who accompanied the president. These include Dan Rather and Bernard Kalb of CBS, Ted Koppel and Tom Jarriel of ABC, Barbara Walters of NBC, Max Frankel of the New York Times, Stanley Karnow of the Washington Post, and many others.
Reported and narrated by U.S.-China Institute Senior Fellow Mike Chinoy, formerly CNN’s Senior Asia Correspondent and Beijing Bureau Chief, the film offers a fascinating and previously untold perspective on one of the most important historical moments of the 20th century.
Seating is limited. RSVP`s are required. Click here to RSVP.
The documentary will be screened in Washington, DC at the U.S. Institute for Peace on January 17 and at the New York headquarters of the Asia Society on January 31. It will also be shown in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong in February.
