Talking Points
November 4 - 16, 2011
On November 3, 1958, Chinese leader Mao Zedong tried to cast a big ballot in the American congressional election. He ordered “heavy all day shelling” of Taiwan-held Kinmen (Jinmen/Quemoy 金門). Mao told Zhou Enlai to ensure that the People’s Liberation Army “Fire at least 10,000 shells and bomb all the military targets in order to affect America’s election, promoting the Democrats’ victory and the Republicans’ defeat.”

Radio Beijing later said 12,000 shells were fired. The Taiwan Defense Ministry reported that some 36,431 shells hit the Kinmen islands that day. This was the heaviest assault in two months in a campaign that began on August 23, 1958.

| "We must liberate Taiwan" -- 1958 poster from the Stefan Landsberger collection. |
Mao was determined to dislodge American forces from Taiwan and to raise questions in the U.S. about ongoing support for Taiwan. Among Chinese posters calling for the liberation of Taiwan was the one at left showing the island poorly defended by a U.S. soldier waving a torch while Taiwan leader Chiang Kai-shek hunkers down. By 1958, the U.S. was providing two-thirds of the Taiwan defense budget, had built an air base that could accommodate heavy bombers, and had put in place nuclear capable missiles. According to Andrei Gromyko, then Soviet foreign minister, Mao proposed luring American forces into China where they could be attacked with Soviet nuclear weapons. In his 1988 memoir, Gromyko wrote that he rejected Mao’s proposal.
Both the Soviets and the Americans took pains to keep the cross-strait battle from leading to full scale war. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev did write to U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower to warn that an American attack on China would be seen as an attack on the Soviet Union. In October, however, Khrushchev visited Mao. Chinese records of the meeting show Khrushchev condemning the attacks on Kinmen as reckless and calling on the Chinese leadership to renounce the use of force against Taiwan and to recognize its independence. Mao rejected this assessment and these proposals. Differences with the Soviets were growing by the month and a full break was only a little more than a year away.
In the midst of the shelling, U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles visited Taipei to meet with Chiang Kai-shek. Dulles pushed Chiang to reduce tensions by renouncing the use of force to retake the
 |
mainland. Chiang resisted. In the joint communique released on October 24, 1958, the U.S. reaffirmed its commitment to Taiwan’s defense and Taiwan’s government pledged to restore freedom on the mainland through “the principal means” of “Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Three People’s Principles … and not the use of force.” Dulles and American newspapers said Chiang had “renounced the use of force,” but Taiwan officials emphasized that they’d only renounced using force as the principal means of liberating the mainland.
An estimated 1,400 Taiwan civilians and soldiers were killed during the August – January campaign, along with an estimated 200 on the mainland when Taiwan forces returned fire.
Things are, of course, quite different on Kinmen and between Taiwan and China today. More than 6,600 people from Taiwan travel to China each day. More than 4,300 tourists from the mainland visit Taiwan every day. According to the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, the average visitor from the mainland contributes US$245 a day to the Taiwan economy. Cross-strait trade totaled US$121 billion in 2010, (with Taiwan selling the mainland $49 billion more in goods than it bought). Taiwan firms have invested $97 billion on the mainland since 1991. Mainland investments in Taiwan have only recently begun and total about $150 million.
Tensions remain, however, and Taiwan is a perennial issue in U.S.-China relations. Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai complained in 1950 that Taiwan was “under the direct control of the American Navy and Air Force” and insisted the People’s Liberation Army would “liberate Taiwan from the grip of the American aggressors.” Scholars such as Tao Wenzhao complained ahead of the September $5.8 billion American arms sale to Taiwan, that such sales “hurts China’s core interests. And to keep on doing the wrong thing for 30 years just doesn’t make it right.” Beijing University’s Zhu Feng echoed this after the sale, writing, “This policy … has not changed for 32 years. During this period, China has changed tremendously and has become the most important business partner to the U.S.” He argued that these sales inflame Chinese nationalism and cause mainland Chinese to doubt the often-expressed American desire for improved U.S.-China ties.
Two useful resources on the U.S.-China-Taiwan triangle have been added to the USC U.S.-China Institute website. The first of these is the second half of The Thaw, our documentary on cross-strait relations. This 18 minute video focuses on security issues. Like the first, it includes interviews with officials, scholars, and policy analysts as well as news footage. Click here to watch it at the USCI website or here to watch at our YouTube channel.
The second resource is video of Prof. Shelley Rigger’s recent presentation at USCI on “Why Taiwan Matters.” She argues that Taiwan matters because a) it is a model of economic development and peaceful democratization, b) it is a test case for American commitments in East Asia, and c) it is vitally important for both China and Taiwan.

*****
So did the massive shelling of Kinmen affect the election?
Pres. Eisenhower’s Republicans suffered big losses. Democrats gained 48 seats in the House of Representatives and 16 seats in the Senate. They gained near veto-proof majorities in both houses. Post-election news reports, however, made no mention of nervousness over Taiwan. Analysts pinned the the drubbing on bad economic times. Unemployment in Detroit, for example, stood at 20%.
While Mao’s thousands of shells didn’t influence voters in 1958, it’s clear that candidates are paying increasing attention to China’s rise and U.S.-China relations. We’ll take this up in the next issue of Talking Points.
In the meantime, you may wish to read the U.S. government report on economic espionage that garnered headlines this morning. Like other reports from the U.S. and Chinese governments, you can find it in the documents section of our website.

Next Wednesday, we hope you can join us at USC when distinguished Harvard scholar Ezra Vogel visits to discuss how Deng Xiaoping engineered the transformation of China. Vogel’s massive biography of Deng has already sold out its first printing. RSVP today if you’d like to attend his talk on Nov. 9.
