Given the availability of many comprehensive electronic databases, online research has become an indispensable part of scholarly pursuit, and is also an advantageous skill for researchers in most social science fields. This paper provides an overview of many useful websites and databases of use to researchers interested in Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Web re-sources catalogued here were chosen based on their comprehensiveness, user-friendliness, and pertinence to the topic. These online research sources are categorized by data source: think tanks and professional as-sociations, government sources, journal articles and conference papers, newspapers, news agencies and collections, reference materials, and on-line bookstores.

KEYWORDS: online research sources; Internet; electronic databases; Tai-wan-U.S.-China relations; research skill.

The advent of the Internet has brought revolutionary change to academic research on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Generally speaking, by allowing access to many comprehensive electronic databases, online research has become an indispensable part of scholarly pursuit, and has also become an advantageous skill for researchers in most social science fields. It will be increasingly common in the years ahead for researchers not to visit real libraries but to stay at the office and surf virtual libraries online.

There are at least three characteristics of online research: con-venience, expedience, and necessity. Note that one can access colossal databases and a wide array of other materials and even print out an endless number of full-text articles of newspapers and journals with an online com-puter in one's office; some publications are even eschewing putting out hard copy, preferring instead to focus on web publishing. In addition, one can collect a wide array of up-to-the-minute information from the Internet on events that are currently unfolding via such methods as receiving routine news updates as well as commentaries, papers, and program briefs through e-mail services. Finally, one may collect data and research materials be-fore one's research trip and even dramatically expand the scope of one's research project by accessing an enormous array of data from various online sources, information one might not be able to access by traditional data collection methods or field interviews.

Four years ago, M. Taylor Fravel overviewed online resources related to the academic study of contemporary China, which provided the field with a good critique of this new research methodology.1

While Fravel's study focused on the general study of China, the specific interest of this paper is Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. In addition, we seek to comment on a research source not covered by Fravel: online academic databases. Furthermore, the rate of change online is so rapid that some of the resources

1_{M. Taylor Fravel, "Online and on China: Research Sources in the Information A ge," The}

China Quarterly, no. 163 (September 2000): 821-42.

covered in Fravel's article have become outdated and new developments now need to be brought to the field's attention. Thus, using Fravel's study as a point of departure, this paper provides a comprehensive and updated research note on online research sources related to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations, including online academic databases.

In order to provide as comprehensive and updated a review as pos-sible, the authors have relied on three methodologies: research experience, reviewing related journal articles, and scrutinizing available academic databases. First, both authors have extensive online research experience, having conducted research at professional schools and think tanks since the mid-1990s. Second, the authors have identified and explored additional related websites and databases by reviewing the references appearing in articles chosen from twelve prestigious journals that publish on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations over the last two to three years.2

Third, the authors have scrutinized all databases available at the libraries of National Cheng-chi University in Taiwan and the University of Chicago in the United States.3

This paper divides online research sources by category of data source: think tanks and professional associations, government sources, journal ar-ticles and conference papers, newspapers, news agencies and collections, reference materials, and online bookstores; paper sections are organized according to these categories. In addition, all reviewed websites in each category are for the most part divided into three sub-categories based on their publication base: Taiwan, China, and the United States. Unless other-wise stated below, the websites reviewed in Taiwan appear in traditional Chinese characters, those in China are in simplified Chinese, and those in the United States appear in English. An appendix provides a list of all the web addresses discussed in this paper.

2_{These journals include Americ an Foreign Policy, Asian Survey, China Business Re view, The}

China Quarterly, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, International Security, Issues & Studies, National Interest, Orbis, The Washington Quarterly, and Wenti yu yanjiu (問題與研究).

3_{There are 71 Chinese databases and 200 English databases accessible via the library of}

Na-tional Chengchi U niversity. There are 465 English databases accessible via the library of the University of Chicago, 7 of which are spe cifically rela ted to East Asian studies.

We do not explain the requirements for viewing websites or databases in traditional or simplified Chinese; most current computer software can be modified to read both traditional and simplified Chinese.4

In addition, one may not be able to directly access the websites of academic databases that charge for their services. Consulting with one's librarian is necessary to determine whether one's institution has purchased these databases and how to access these databases from one's library system.

Note that a search engine has become a standard function built into almost every website provided by news sources, think tanks, governments, and online bookstores. Furthermore, one may receive routine updates of news, commentaries, papers, and program briefs via e-mail, free of charge, from almost all think tanks. In order to avoid redundancies, this paper does not repeat this fact for each section, but instead only informs the reader of additional pay-as-you-go services. Finally, unless specified, all figures and facts cited in this paper were current as of August 2004.

Think Tanks and Professional Associations Taiwan

The Institute of International Relations of National Chengchi Univer-sity (國立政治大學國際關係研究中心) (http://iir.nccu.edu.tw) is Taiwan's largest research institution dedicated to the understanding of international issues, including China studies and Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. The In-stitute publishes three bi-monthly/quarterly academic journals in English/ Chinese: Issues & Studies, Wenti yu yanjiu (問題與研究, Issues & Studies), and Zhongguo dalu yanjiu (中國大陸研究, Mainland China Studies). Back issues of these journals are downloadable from the Institute's website.

The website of the Foundation on International & Cross-strait Studies (中華歐亞基金會) (http://www.fics.org.tw) is mainly designed for

tradi-tional and simplified Chinese by installing pac kages of traditradi-tional and simplified Chinese character fonts.

researchers of Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. One can browse the site's "Major Topics," "Policy Research," and "Seminars" sections for such in-formation. In addition to daily news reports, the Foundation's site also sponsors and publishes many timely papers and commentaries on related issues. Of particular relevance is the Foundation's Peace Forum (和平論 壇) (http://www.peaceforum.org.tw/index_redir.jsp) which provides time-ly news reports in both Chinese and English. The Forum's seminar papers are also of great use to scholars interested in Taiwan-U.S.-China relations, with such titles as "Review on Success and Challenge to the One-China Policy" by Chang Wu-yueh (張五岳) and "Peace in the Taiwan Strait and Cross-Strait Relations" by Alexander Chieh-cheng Huang (黃介正).

The Cross-Strait Interflow Prospect Foundation (兩岸交流遠景基金 會) (http://www.future-china.org/index_o.html) not only provides timely news reports and commentaries on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations, but also boasts the largest collection among think tanks in Taiwan of academic publications, policy statements, and other documents on both cross-Strait relations and the triangular dynamics of Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. In addition, the Foundation's website offers a host of materials on many special topics including many books on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations.

Sponsored by the Institute for National Policy Research (國策研究 院), the Taiwan Perspective (台灣觀點) (http://www.tp.org.tw) is a bilin-gual website in both English and Chinese offering not only views on issues but also news reports related to Taiwan. In particular, the Per-spective publishes an e-paper series which focuses mostly on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations since January 2004; in the past eight months, the site has put together thirty-six issues, including such titles as "A Major Step towards Defusing Cross-Straits and U.S.-Taiwan Tensions" by Lin Chen-yi (林正義) and Ralph A. Cossa's "Cross-Strait Relations: Hope for a Breakthrough?"

Sponsored by Taiwan's current opposition party, the Kuomintang, the National Policy Foundation (國家政策研究基金會) (http://www.npf .org.tw/main.htm) covers every major issue related to Taiwan politics, economy, and security. Researchers of Taiwan-U.S.-China relations may find the "National Security" section of their website to be of particular

interest. This section contains research papers and commentaries (dating back to 2000) on both Taiwan-China relations and Taiwan's national de-fense and foreign policies, including such titles as "Wen Jiabao's Visit to the United States and Security Issues of the Taiwan Strait" by Li Hua-qiu (李華球) and "The Unsettled Taiwan Election and Cross-Strait Relations After the Election" by Pan Xi-tang (潘錫堂).

China

Under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中國社會科學院), both the Institute of American Studies (美國研究所) (http://www.cass.cn/ meiguosuo) and the Institute of World Economics and Politics (世界經 濟與政治研究所) (http://www.iwep.org.cn) are the two most important research institutions in China that focus on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. The Institute of American Studies focuses more on traditional political and security issues, while the Institute of World Economics and Politics concentrates more on economic and theoretical perspectives. These two websites contain many research papers, journal articles, and commentaries in both Chinese and English, though most are in Chinese. For instance, the Institute of American Studies has a special section of publications on Sino-American relations, including such papers as "The United States and Cross-Strait Relations" by Li Xiaogang (李 曉 崗) and "Sino-American Relations in the Bush Presidency" by Tao Wenzhao (陶文釗). The Institute of World Economics and Politics publishes many articles on the Renminbi (人民幣) exchange rate issue in the section on world economics, as well as papers on realism and constructivism in the section on world politics.

Two major think tanks reflecting China's official views on various global issues are the China Institute of International Studies (中國國際問 題 研 究 所) (http://www.ciis.org.cn) sponsored by the Chinese Foreign Ministry (外交部) and the Shanghai city government's Shanghai Institute for International Studies (上海國際問題研究所) (http://www.siis.org.cn/ index_gb.htm). Of particular relevance to us here, the Shanghai Institute has a center for the study of Taiwan-China relations (the scope of which includes Hong Kong and Macau) that mainly focuses on international fac-tors that influence Taiwan-China interactions. These two websites collect

analyses and commentaries on current global issues and Chinese foreign policy that are written mostly in Chinese, though some are available in English. Titles include "The Serious Consequences and Implications of the Iraq War" by An Huihou (安惠侯), "The Trend of the American Econ-omy and Its Impact on the Chinese EconEcon-omy" by Zhou Shijian (周世儉), and "The American National Security Strategy and Relations among Big Powers" by Yang Jiemian (楊潔勉).

The Center for American Studies of Fudan University (復旦大學美 國研究中 心) (http://www.cas.fudan.edu.cn) publishes papers and com-mentaries in both Chinese and English. These publications are mostly related to American politics and U.S.-China relations, with the Taiwan-China relationship being a major concern. Researchers must patiently sift through the website's offerings, however, because its search engine does not include the website's papers but only books in the Center's library.

China International Relations Online (中國國關在線) (http://www .irchina.org) is sponsored by Nankai University (南 開大 學). The site gathers newly published papers written in or translated into Chinese that analyze international relations theories and global development. Since the study of America is always of import, articles on U.S.-China relations and sometimes on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations are included on this website, including such titles as David M. Lampton's "China's Growing Power and Influence in Asia: Implications for U.S. Policy" and David Shambaugh's "Imagining Demons: The Rise of Negative Imagery in U.S.-China Rela-tions."

United States

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (http://www.csis .org) has three programs related to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations: China Studies, the International Security Program (Asia Security), and the Pacific Forum. In addition to the monthly Freeman Report issued by the China Studies program, the Pacific Forum offers three regular publications related to our subject: PacNet Newsletter, Comparative Connections, and

Issues & Insights. Generated from a network of policy research institutes

analysis of breaking events in the Asia-Pacific region, including Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Secondly, Comparative Connections, a quarterly electronic journal, provides routine analyses and chronicles on key bilateral relationships in East Asia, including U.S.-China as well as Taiwan-China relations. Finally, Issues & Insights series are in-depth analyses authored by both participants of the Forum's research conferences and Forum staff.

There are other institute websites that deserve the attention of scholars interested in triangular relations among Taiwan, the United States, and China. The Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies of the Brookings Institution (http://www.brookings.edu/fp/cnaps/center_hp.htm), the Asia and the Pacific Program of the Heritage Foundation (http://www.heritage .org/Research/AsiaandthePacific/china-taiwan.cfm), the China Program of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (http://www.ceip.org/ files/programs/china_home.ASP), the China Studies Program of the Henry L. Stimson Center (http://www.stimson.org/china), and the Chinese Studies of the Nixon Center (http://www.nixoncenter.org/index.cfm? action=showPage&page=chinese) are all very active in producing timely commentaries, papers, and policy briefs on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. These publications include such titles as "Cross-Strait Relations: A Time for Careful Management" by Richard Bush of the Brookings Institution, "The Diplomatic and Political Dimension of U.S. Policy toward Taiwan" by Peter Brookes of the Heritage Foundation, "Deterring Conflict in the Taiwan Strait" by Michael Swaine of the Carnegie Endowment, and "U.S. Policy After the Taiwan Election: Divining the Future" by Alan D. Rom-berg of the Stimson Center. Of particular note, the Nixon Center publishes annual review monographs on U.S.-China relations.

Both the Asia Studies section of the Council on Foreign Relations (http://www.cfr.org/reg_index.php? id=3|||1) and the Asia Program of the Atlantic Council of the United States (http://www.acus.org/Asia/Default .htm) cover many general topics in Asia, including China as well as Tai-wan-U.S.-China relations. The Council on Foreign Relations publishes articles such as George Gilboy's "The Latin-Americanization of China" and Adam Segal's "Practical Engagement: Drawing a Fine Line for U.S.-China Trade." In particular, the Atlantic Council has a special project called

"Cross-Strait Seminar Series," which publishes several timely papers on Taiwan-China relations, including Rupert Hammond-Chambers's "Re-marks on Cross-Strait Economic Integration After WTO and SARS" and David G. Brown's "Democratization and Cross-Strait Relations."

The National Security Research Division of the Rand Corporation (http://www.rand.org/nsrd/index.html) covers general security issues in Asia and its Center for Asia-Pacific Policy (http://www.rand.org/nsrd/ capp) pays attention to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Furthermore, one may find the division's research papers and commentaries related to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations at http://www.rand.org/nsrd/capp/pubs/ chinataiwan.html. Examples include "Taiwan's Foreign and Defense Poli-cies: Features and Determinants" by Michael Swaine and James Mulvenon, and "Dire Strait? Military Aspects of the China-Taiwan Confrontation and Options for U.S. Policy" by David A. Shlapak, David T. Orletsky, and Barry A. Wilson.

Since 1996, the National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP, http://www.ncafp.org/legacy/projects/us-china-taiwan.htm) has been dedicated to promoting research on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. One initiative is particularly worth mentioning: in 1997 the NCAFP initi-ated a track II project on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations which includes the holding of closed-door roundtables attended by policy analysts, former government officials, and scholars from Taiwan, the United States, and China. This website contains proceedings of not only these roundtables but also reports of study trips to Taiwan and China sponsored by the NCAFP.

Sponsored by the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, the

China Leadership Monitor (http://www.chinaleadershipmonitor.org)

pro-vides quarterly analyses on China's domestic and foreign policies since 2002. Analyses on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations have consistently been hot issues in the Monitor's "Foreign Policy" and "Military Affairs" sections, with such titles as James Mulvenon's "Anticipation Is Making Me Wait: The Inevitability of War and Deadlines in Cross-Strait Relations" and Robert L. Suettinger's "Leadership Policy toward Taiwan and the United States in the Wake of Chen Shui-bian's Reelection."

Although a think tank with but minor staff, the Foreign Policy Re-search Institute (http://www.fpri.org) is able to coordinate many distin-guished scholars and has put out abundant publications dealing with each major field of international relations. Researchers may easily find related articles on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations from the section "Articles" of its website, including Shelley Rigger's "New Crisis in the Taiwan Strait?" and Jacques deLisle's "Taiwan's Referenda, Constitutional Reform and the Question of Taiwan's International Status."

The National Committee on United States-China Relations (http:// www.ncuscr.org) is an organization dedicated to promoting U.S.-China relations. Its website's China Policy Series contains reports written by participants in Committee delegations and projects that examine issues related to U.S.-China relations as well as Taiwan-China relations, such as Thomas J. Christensen's "New Challenges and Opportunities in the Taiwan Strait" and Evan S. Medeiros's "United States-China Relations: Compara-tive Security and Foreign Policy Processes." In addition, the website pub-lishes articles and speeches given at or written for Committee functions and Committee-related functions, such as David M. Lampton's "Small Mercies: China and America After 9/11" and the transcript of Chinese President Jiang Zemin's (江澤民) September 8, 2000 speech.

There are also many think tanks or professional associations that do not focus specifically on trilateral relations among Taiwan, the United States, and China, yet still provide a number of related reports, papers, and commentaries in terms of economic, political, and security aspects of trilateral relations. These organizations include the Jamestown Founda-tion (http://www.jamestown.org), the Asia Society (http://www.asiasocie-ty.org), the Cato Institute (http://www.cato.org/index.html), the East-West Center (http://www.eastwestcenter.org), the National Bureau of Asian Research (http://www.nbr.org), the Asia Program of the Woodrow Wilson Center (http://wwics.si.edu/index.cfm? fuseaction=topics.home&topic_ id=1462), and the U.S. Institute of Peace (http://www.usip.org). Particu-larly worthy of note, the Jamestown Foundation's biweekly China Brief regularly invites leading China specialists to offer their views about China's political, economic, and military development.

With regards to U.S. military and strategic studies, researchers can locate numerous papers written by the students and scholars of the U.S. Army War College (http://carlisle-www.army.mil). The College's Strategic Studies Institute (http://www.carlisle.army.mil/ssi/index.cfm) has many publications on Taiwan, China, and the Asia-Pacific, such as "Crisis Deter-rence in the Taiwan Strait" by Chaplain D. McCready and "The Rise of China in Asia: Security Implications" edited by Carolyn Pumphrey.

Another key institute for the study of American military strategies is the National Defense University (http://www.ndu.edu). Under the Univer-sity, the Institute for National Security Studies (http://www.ndu.edu/inss/ insshp.html) and the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs (http: //www.ndu.edu/inss/China_Center/CSCMA_frames.htm) focus on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Numerous books, papers, and conference reports can be found on these websites, such as "Modernizing China's Military: A High-Stakes Gamble?" by Howard M. Krawitz; "'One China' and Relations Across the Taiwan Strait" by Ronald N. Montaperto, James Przystup, and Gerald Faber; and "China Rising: New Challenges to the U.S. Security Posture" by Jason D. Ellis and Todd M. Koca.

Northeast Asia Peace and Security Network (NAPSNet, http://www .nautilus.org/napsnet/dr/index.html) is a non-governmental information network and a forum launched by the Nautilus Institute in 1993. The Net-work focuses mainly on security and non-proliferation issues in North America and Northeast Asia. Its Daily Report provides both summaries of current news as well as analysis and announcements on peace and security issues in the Northeast Asia region. The NAPSNet publication and archive make available previously distributed materials, related documents, papers, and other resources, including such titles as "What Road Ahead? Prospects for the Future of U.S.-China Relations" by Guobin Yang and "Missile De-fense and U.S.-China Relations" by Wade Huntley and Robert Brown.

Five other websites are particularly helpful for researching Taiwan-U.S.-China security relations: GlobalSecurity.org (http://www.globalsecu-rity.org), the Common Wealth Institute (http://www.comw.org), the Tai-wan Defense Review (http://www.tdreview.com), the Kanwa Information Center (http://www.kanwa.com), and World Navies Today (http://www

.haze-gray.org/worldnav).

In particular, researchers will find the "Taiwan Crisis" section at the GlobalSecurity.org (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/taiwan .htm) very useful. The section on "Chinese Military Power" at the Common Wealth Institute (http://www.comw.org/cmp) provides a very sound collec-tion of news, special topics, academic papers, and policy backgrounders on U.S. policy toward China, Taiwan-China relations, and Chinese strategy and policy. The Taiwan Defense Review is an English-language electronic journal specifically designed for professionals interested in Taiwan-U.S.-China security relations. The site is updated at least once a week as new developments occur or as more information comes to light. With postings in English, Chinese, and Japanese, the Kanwa Information Center provides commentary on the most recent developments in East Asian security. Finally, World Navies Today is a database of all the world's navies and naval ships, including Taiwanese, American, and Chi-nese naval forces.

The U.S.-Taiwan Business Council (http://www.us-taiwan.org) and the U.S.-China Business Council (http://www.uschina.org) are two leading business associations in the United States that represent a large network of companies dealing with business, trade, and investment issues between the United States and Taiwan and between the United States and China, respectively. Their websites provide up-to-date financial data, business news, and analyses of Taiwan's economy, China's economy, and trilateral economic relations among Taiwan, the United States, and China. Re-searchers can read the most recent reports for free but must pay a fee to access earlier data.

In addition, the American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (http:// amcham.com.tw/index.php) and the American Chamber of Commerce in China (http://www.amcham-china.org.cn) are two business associations dedicated to promoting American trade and commerce in Taiwan and Chi-na, respectively. Maintained to assist U.S. business interests, these web-sites contain monthly journals, yearly white papers, and other reports on economic and political issues as well as trilateral relations between Taiwan, the United States, and China.

Singapore

The East Asian Institute (http://www.nus.edu.sg/NUSinfo/EAI) is an autonomous research organization under the National University of Singa-pore. On a regular basis, scholars of this institution organize seminars and publish research papers about the Chinese economy and its global im-plications; developments in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau; and China's external relations. The Taiwan-U.S.-China relationship is one of the major topics for research, with the Institute's website offering such titles as Lijun Sheng's "The Taiwan Issue: Opportunities and Challenges to the New Chinese Leadership" and Qi Luo's "Economic Interests vs. Political Interventions: The Case of Economic Relations between Mainland China and Taiwan."

Government Sources Taiwan

Offering both Chinese and English versions, the website of the Office of the President (總統府) (http://www.president.gov.tw) provides a good collection of press releases and policy statements of Taiwan's president, such as transcripts of the President's media interviews and inaugural speeches. In addition, the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (外交 部) (http://www.mofa.gov.tw) contains a rich array of both official state-ments on Taiwan's foreign policy and reports on Taiwan's foreign relations in Chinese, English, and other languages. For comprehensive official in-formation about Taiwan's history, current situation, official news releases, policy statements and measures, and statistics, one may check out the web-site of the Government Information Office (新聞局) (http://www.gio.gov .tw) offering versions in eleven languages for readers around the world.

The Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan (行政院大陸 委員會) (http://www.mac.gov.tw) is Taiwan's ministerial-level department responsible for matters concerning Taiwan's relations with China. In both Chinese and English, the Council's website posts Taiwan's policy state-ments toward China, current developstate-ments of Taiwan-China relations, statistics on Taiwan-China exchanges, collections of Taiwan-China

dialo-gues and negotiations, and opinion polls related to Taiwan-China relations. Furthermore, the website has an online research center boasting the most recent publications and electronic resources for the study of China and Taiwan-U.S.-China relations.

Presented in both Chinese and English, the website of the Ministry of National Defense (國防 部) (http://www.mnd.gov.tw) presents Taiwan's defense policy and official views of its security situation. In particular, the website provides the full text of Taiwan's National Defense White Paper.

The website of the Bureau of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Eco-nomic Affairs (經濟部國際貿易局) (http://cweb.trade.gov.tw) provides basic information, statistics, and policy statements on Taiwan's foreign trade. Under the section of "Economic Information," one may find data related to the bilateral economic relations between Taiwan and the United States as well as between Taiwan and China.

China

The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (http://www.fmprc .gov.cn) contains news releases and statements about China's foreign pol-icies and foreign relations in five languages. Particularly useful is the site's sub-section on "U.S.-China Relations" (http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/chn/wjb/ zzjg/bmdyzs/gjlb/1948/default.htm), which includes such detailed docu-ments and official statedocu-ments as the Shanghai Communiqué and President Jiang Zemin's speech of October 28, 2002 delivered at the George Bush Presidential Library. In addition, researchers can easily find related materials on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations in the "Special Topics" sub-section of the "Document" sub-section, such as China's official responses to both Taiwan's bid for participation of the World Health Organization and American arms sales to Taiwan. In both Chinese and English, the website of the Chinese Embassy in the United States (http://www.china-embassy .org) provides a service similar to the Ministry's website.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council (國務院台灣事務辦 公室) (http://www.gwytb.gov.cn) is China's ministerial-level department dealing with relations between Taiwan and China. On this website, re-searchers can find no small collection of updated news, official statements,

historical negotiation documents, white papers, laws and rules, statistics, and commentaries on Taiwan-China relations.

The website of the Ministry of Commerce (商 務部) (http://www .mofcom.gov.cn) contains statistics and policy statements on China's for-eign trade and investment. In particular, the websites of the Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office of China's Embassy in the United States (http://us.mofcom.gov.cn) and the Department of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao Affairs (http://tga.mofcom.gov.cn) respectively provide spe-cific information and policy statements on U.S.-China and Taiwan-China economic relations.

United States

The websites of the White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov) and the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs of the Department of State (http://www.state.gov/p/eap) provide a very good collection of press re-leases and official statements of American policy toward Taiwan and China. Furthermore, the International Information Program of the Department of State has a specific website providing updated news and official statements in English, Chinese, and other languages about East Asia and the Pacific re-gion (http://usinfo.state.gov/eap). Researchers can easily locate information about Taiwan and China under the "regional file" section. Researchers may also find U.S. policies and official statements toward China on the website of the U.S. Embassy in China (http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn).

Another good source of information is the website of the Office of Asian and Pacific Affairs of the Department of Defense (http://www.de-fenselink.mil/policy/isa/asiapacific/apindex.html). On this site researchers may find important security policy statements and defense reports on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (http://www.apcss.org), sponsored by the Department of Defense, provides many publications on the security situation in the Asia-Pacific region and U.S. security relations with both Taiwan and China, such as Denny Roy's "U.S.-Taiwan Arms Sales: The Perils of Doing Busi-ness with Friends" and Richard Bitzinger's "Taipei's Arms Procurement Dilemma: Implications for Defending Taiwan."

Under the Department of Commerce (http://www.commerce.gov), the websites of the International Trade Administration (http://www.ita.doc .gov) and the U.S. Government Export Portal (http://www.export.gov) con-tain detailed information and commercial guides about Taiwan and China. Particularly, the China Gateway (http://www.export.gov/china/index.asp) and the China Business Information Center (http://www.export.gov/china/ index.asp) focus on U.S.-China economic relations.

The North Asia Section of the United States Trade Representative (http://www.ustr.gov/World_Regions/North_Asia/Section_Index.html) focuses on U.S. trade relations with Asian countries. In particular, its China Affairs section (http://www.ustr.gov/World_Regions/North_Asia/ China/Section_Index.html) deals with U.S.-China trade relations. These two website sections offer related press releases, fact sheets, speeches, op-eds, and links to relevant resources on both Taiwan-U.S. and U.S.-China trade relations.

Journal Articles and Conference Papers

In one's search for related journal articles and conference papers, one of the best approaches to take is to scan general data bases that catalogue journal articles and other publications on a wide variety of subjects and cover a long time period. This section will introduce the most popular academic indexes in Taiwan, China, and the United States.

Taiwan

PerioPath: Index to Chinese Periodical Literature (中華民國期刊 論文索引影像系統) (http://readopac3.ncl.edu.tw/html/frame1.htm) was created and is maintained by Taiwan's National Central Library ( 國家 圖書館). PerioPath is an online index and provides delivery services of periodical articles currently received by the Library. The site contains approximately 2,600 titles drawn from Chinese and Western language periodicals published in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau from 1991. The system includes more than 300,000 articles in total. After registering

for document delivery application, one can either read articles online or choose to receive facsimile copies (with almost immediate delivery).

China

China Journal Full-text Database (中國期刊全文資料庫或中國期刊 網) (http://www.cnki.net/index.htm) is the most comprehensive database containing full-text articles drawn from more than 5,300 core science, humanities, and social sciences journals published in China. The database includes more than ten million full-text articles, with 3,500 articles updated daily and an average addition of one million articles each year. It is a very convenient tool by which to download the full-text articles drawn from China's journals since 1994.

United States

The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC, http://www.oclc.org) offers electronic access to dozens of databases and more than ten million full-text and full-image articles. OCLC ArticleFirst includes daily updated items listed on the table of contents pages of over 15,000 journals focusing on technology, medicine, the social sciences, business, the humanities, and popular culture since 1990.

OCLC Electronic Collections Online includes all of the original con-tent and images of articles in over 4,800 social science journals since 1995 and one may access more than 1,690,000 full-text articles from journals to which one's library subscribes.

OCLC PAIS International provides selective subjects and biblio-graphic access to more than 3,600 titles of periodicals, books, hearings, reports, gray literature, government publications, Internet resources, and other publications from 120 countries since 1972. In particular, PAIS In-ternational specializes in global public policy and social issues, economics, government, international relations, military, politics, and trade. The data-base contains more than 480,000 records, including materials in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.

OCLC PaperFirst covers congress, symposium, conference, exposi-tion, workshop, and meeting publications on wide variety of subjects

received by the British Library Document Supply Center since 1993. The database contains over 4.9 million records and is updated semimonthly.

Academic Search Premier (http://search.epnet.com) is a multi-disciplinary database containing full-text articles drawn from more than 4,600 scholarly publications, dating back as far as 1965. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for all 8,040 journals in the collection. Researchers of Taiwan-U.S.-China relations will find abundant resources in its social sciences archive.

ProQuest Social Science Journals (http://www.proquest.com) is a collection of social sciences journals in a full text and/or image format. The collection includes 183 titles since 1994.

The database fully indexes more than 1,725 journals spanning 50 social science disciplines. In addition, the Index provides access to current information and retrospective data from 1956 onward.

Finally, by integrating with academic databases, online catalogue systems of many libraries show available databases for full-text service of specific journals within a specific time span. For instance, a search for

The China Quarterly in the online catalogue system of National Chengchi

University library reveals that the full texts of articles from this journal are available in the databases of SwetsWise (2001-2003), ProQuest (1994.03-), and Cambridge (2001).

Newspapers Taiwan

In Taiwan, both the China Times (中國時報) (http://www.chinatimes .com) and the United Daily News (聯合報) (http://www.udn.com) enjoy an army of readers in Taiwan and devote much print space to reporting and analyzing Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. Both newspapers provide search engines available to paying members. The China Times claims to have over 430,000 articles in its online archive since 1997, and the United Daily

The Taipei Times (http://www.taipeitimes.com), the China Post (http: //www.chinapost.com.tw), and the Taiwan News (http://www.etaiwannews .com) are the three major English presses in Taiwan. All three are equipped with free search engines, which provide access to news archives mostly from 2000 onward.

China

In China, the People's Daily ( 人民日 報) (http://www.peopledaily .com.cn) is the official Chinese press. With versions in Chinese, English, and other languages, the People's Daily pays enormous attention to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations, including publishing Beijing's statements toward Taiwan. Furthermore, researchers can search its news archive for post-1995 articles for free.

The PLA Daily (解放軍報) (http://www.pladaily.com.cn) represents the official views of the Chinese military. In addition to reporting, in a time-ly manner, the development of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the PLA

Daily has specific categories such as "Taiwan's Armed Forces" and "Studies

of the U.S. Military." The Daily has an English version, which contains, however, less information than the Chinese version. Researchers can search its news archive without charge for articles from 1999 to the present.

The China Daily (http://www.chinadaily.net) is a major English press in China. Those interested in Taiwan-U.S.-China relations will find a specific section named "Taiwan Issues" under the "Special Coverage" cate-gory. Nevertheless, many collections in "Taiwan Issues" are a bit outdated and not as rich as other Chinese media. The free search engine of the Daily covers news since 2000.

United States

In terms of reporting on foreign affairs, the Washington Post (http:// www.washingtonpost.com) and the New York Times (http://www.nytimes .com) are undoubtedly the most influential media in the United States that pay significant attention to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. One may search the index of the complete news archives of the Washington Post and that of the New York Times, though reading the full text of articles requires payment.

The Washington Times (http://www.washtimes.com) is famous for reporting on the inside stories of many U.S. administrations. The Los

Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com) also covers Taiwan-U.S.-China

relations. Similarly, one may search the news archive index of the

Washington Times since 1990 and that of the Los Angeles Times since

1985, again with payment required to read the full text.

Both the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/public/us) and the Financial Times (http://www.ft.com) mainly focus on global business news. Their reports are particularly useful for an understanding of Taiwan-U.S.-China economic and political relations in the era of globalization. There is a fee for reading and searching their news archives. In addition, both the Wall Street Journal (http://chinese.wsj.com) and the Financial

Times (http://zhongwen.ft.com/zhongwen) print Chinese versions, which

are currently available free of charge.

Hong Kong and Singapore

The South China Morning Post (http://www.scmp.com) and the Asia

Times (http://www.atimes.com) are two popular English media in Hong

Kong which place Taiwan-U.S.-China relations as one of their major con-cerns. Note that the Asia Times also provides service in Chinese. This paper also offers a specific section for China, where researchers can par-ticularly find news and commentaries about Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. The South China Morning Post archive contains articles dating back to 1993, while the Asia Times archive contains articles dating only to 2001.

The Straits Times (http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg) is one of the old-est English newspapers in Asia. Issues related to Taiwan and China as well as to America's role in this region continue to be one of the paper's major concerns. The website's archive contains articles current to two years.

News Agencies and Collections Taiwan

As Taiwan's sole national news agency, the Central News Agency (CNA,中央通訊社) (http://www.cna.com.tw) provides timely and

com-prehensive domestic and international news in Chinese, English, and Spanish. In addition, since 1995, CNA has been compiling international reports about Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. The archive on the Agency's website is not, however, free to search. CNA's search engine claims to offer its members access to 1,626,000 Chinese reports published since 1991 and 60,000 English ones dating from 1996.

Sponsored by Taiwan's National Science Council (國家科學委員會), Taiwan Security Research (http://www.taiwansecurity.org) is an English-language website specially designed for researchers interested in Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. This website collects, in a timely manner, news, commentaries, papers, and policy statements, and divides these materials into such helpful categories as "Taiwan," "PRC," "Cross-Strait Issues," and "U.S. Policy." Furthermore, this website also groups recent news stories by such timely subjects as "U.S.-China Engagement," "'One China' and 'Taiwan Independence'," and the "2004 Presidential Election." This web-site allows readers to search data dating back to 1998. Researchers can also register for its free weekly e-mail service.

Taiwan's Yahoo (http://tw.yahoo.com) provides a special section of "Cross-Strait Issues" under its news service at http://tw.news.yahoo.com/ twoshore, which is mainly limited to news on Taiwan-China interactions. To find news related to Taiwan and the United States, readers must browse the general sections of "Politics" and "International."

China

The Xinhua Net (新華網) (http://www.xinhuanet.com) and the China News Net (中國新聞網) (http://www.chinanews.com.cn) are sponsored by China's two national news agencies, the Xinhua News Agency (新華 通訊社) and the China News Agency (中國新聞社), respectively. The Xinhua Net contains news in Chinese, English, and other languages, while the China News Agency only provides news in Chinese. One finds abundant news articles on Taiwan-U.S.-China relations in the "Interna-tional Channel" and "Taiwan Channel" sections available on both nets. Although the Xinhua Net claims to have archives available dating back to 1999, we found that the capability extends no further back than 2003.

Researchers can search the news archive of the China News Net for articles dating back to 1998.

Sponsored by China's Information Office of the State Council, Zhongguo Net (中 國 網) (http://www.china.com.cn/chinese/index.htm) collects a wide array of news from China's media in Chinese, English, and other languages. This website contains "International" and "Military" news sections. Furthermore, under the "Chinese Community" section, one may find articles related to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations in the "Cross-Strait" sub-section (http://www.china.com.cn/chinese/TCC/haixia/17072 .htm). This website provides a search engine covering articles dating back to 1999.

The China Core Newspaper Database (中國重要報紙全文資料庫) (http://www.cnki.net/index.htm) contains full-text articles from science, the humanities, and the social sciences from more than 350 major news-papers published in China. The databases cumulatively include more than three million full-text articles, with 5,000 articles updated daily and an average inclusion of one and half million articles each year. Its search engine allows for convenient downloading of the full text of China's newspapers articles since 2000.

China's Yahoo (http://cn.yahoo.com) does not have specific sections on "Cross-Strait" or "U.S.-China" issues. However, the Taiwan-U.S.-China relationship is such a hot issue that one may find related news, com-mentaries, and policy statements under the "Special Topics" section.

United States

Lexis-Nexis (http://web.lexis-nexis.com/universe) is a very powerful search engine that allows researchers (for a fee) to search and read full-text documents from over 5,600 media sources from all over the world, in-cluding about 350 news sources from the Asia-Pacific region. To locate articles related to Taiwan-U.S.-China relations, researchers mostly search the categories of "General News" and "World News" under the "Guided News Search" section, which contain documents dating back several dec-ades. Because its search engine can retrieve only up to 1,000 documents for each individual search, researchers must carefully limit their search

phrases, areas of interest, and time range.

World News Connection (WNC, http://wnc.dialog.com) publishes news from Chinese presses, which are translated into English on a daily basis. Materials in WNC are gathered by the Foreign Broadcast Informa-tion Service (FBIS), which used to be a very important source on Chinese presses for non-Chinese researchers. WNC covers seventeen media sources from China (including the Xinhua News Agency, the People's

Daily, and the PLA Daily), eight from Hong Kong, and two from Taiwan.

As a result, one may access reports in English from Chinese presses after translation in one to three days. "East Asia" and "China" are two specific categories available on WNC. Its archive contains articles published after 1996, with earlier articles available on the old FBIS microfilm.

Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com) is a very powerful search engine for Internet users. It offers three sections that are particularly useful for re-searchers interested in Taiwan-U.S.-China relations. First, one can find news, commentaries, feature articles, editorials, and even audio and video reports on China from http://news.yahoo.com/fc? tmpl=fc&cid=34&in= world&cat=china. Second, the same are available for Taiwan at http: //story.news.yahoo.com/fc? cid=34&tmpl=fc&in=World&cat=Taiwan. Finally, Yahoo also has a special section discussing U.S.-China relations at http://news.yahoo.com/fc? tmpl=fc&cid=34&in=world&cat=china_u_ s_, though the contents have not been updated for over a year.

Reference Materials and Online Bookstores
