The United States’ One-China policy has been at the center of recent controversy. Rebutting Beijing’s accusations that Washington is changing the status quo, US officials have stressed that the United States remains committed to the One-China policy, but their explanations of the policy have not always been complete or accurate. This article discusses recent developments in the One-China policy and how to interpret the United States’ silence on Taipei’s assertions of sovereignty and independence.

The Institute of East Asian Studies thanks everyone who participated in the UC Berkeley BIG GIVE campaign on March 9 to raise funds for student awards and fellowships. Our special Big Give web page presents some of the stories of students who have benefited from fellowships and grants they have received from IEAS and its centers in recent years, making a difference to their academic careers.
CCS has provided support for my research travel, thesis writing, and language study throughout my graduate years at Berkeley. Last summer, I was able to attend my first academic conference in Europe and presented a paper on the early standardization of Chinese characters under the generous support of The Liu Graduate Research Fellowship provided by CCS.
With funding from the CKS Undergraduate student support, I had the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive study abroad program in South Korea, during which I conducted independent research on the motivations that drive students to attend short-term, non-degree seeking programs.
I am so grateful to the Center for Korean Studies for providing me with funding to study the language intensively during several summers, present my research at various conferences, and connect with visiting scholars.
I managed to write a significant portion of my dissertation over the summer because of the Long-Ling Hsiao Chu and Chao Chi Chu Fellowship in Chinese Studies. The fellowship allowedme to completely focuson writing without worrying about finding supplemental funding. My dissertation examines a pivotal period in Chinese history, from the collapse of the Qing Dynasty to the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
Throughout my graduate work at Berkeley, CCS has generously provided support for summer research and writing. I am training as an art and cultural historian of Qing China (1644-1911), and my research and teaching emphasize multidisciplinary approaches to art, objects and material culture, theories of their transcultural exchange, and the politics of their transformation into knowledge.
