论英美在承认新中国问题上的分歧与协调

英美在是否承认新中国问题上的立场明显不同:英国主张尽早承认,尽管其决策取向经历了一个从事实承认到法律承认的递进过程;美国则始终坚持反对过早承认和主张有条件承认,具有不承认的实质性内容,并注定了不承认的结局。1949年1～5月,英美分歧凸显;1949年7月至1950年初,英美就承认问题不断磋商,但整个协商过程表明双方各执己见,最终各行其是,英国于1950年1月6日正式承认新中国,而早在1950年初美国在近期内承认新中国的可能性已不存在。

On the Controversy and Consent between UK and US Concerning Recognizing the People's Republic of China

The policies of the UK and that of the US were different concerning recognizing a Communist regime of China. The former favored early recognition, even though its policy-making went through a change from de facto recognition to de jure recognition. The latter strongly opposed premature recognition and persisted in precondition recognition. This stance was a substantial non-recognition and would lead to a non-recognition. From January to May of 1949, Anglo-American stances toward recognition became opposite. From July 1949 to early 1950, the British and American kept consulting with each other but had no result. Finally, the British accorded de jure recognition on Jan.6 1950, but the Americans actually ruled out any possibility of recognition in a near future.
