    the purpose of the volume was to “provide the basis for briefing senior American officials
    prior to their first negotiating encounters with PRC counterparts, establish control over
    the documentary record of US-PRC political exchanges during the ‘normalization’ phase
    of the relation.” Solomon, part II, p. v.

59. Dating the PRC-US strategic partnership is problematic. Either 1972 or 1979 can
    be seen as starting points. Selection of 1982 as end point reflects Beijing’s adoption of its
    “independent foreign policy” and George Shultz’s more skeptical approach to the utility
    of triangular linkage. From another perspective, however, the strategic partnership con-
    tinued all the way to spring 1989.
