DR. KISSINGER: "... To answer your question, we deliberately referred to you as the People’s Republic of China for the first time in a public document of the United States as a symbol of the direction we want to go, and therefore you understand us correctly, that is we want normalization and we want friendship. While I have been here, the Prime Minister has mentioned four other points: — Recognition of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China; — Recognition of Taiwan as belonging to China; — Accepting the proposition that we do not support two Chinas or one China, one Taiwan; — Not supporting the Taiwan Independence Movement." PM ZHOU: "In your words yesterday, you said that you did not support two Chinas or the policy of one China, one Taiwan." DR. KISSINGER: "That’s correct." PM ZHOU: "... It is also your answer to what I mentioned, and you can count it as a fifth point. If you are going to move forward friendship and normal relations, the logical outcome is that we must recognize each other; otherwise how would we be able to have exchange?" DR. KISSINGER: "... Of the five points which the Prime Minister mentioned, four can be accomplished within the near future. I am sure that the President would be prepared to repeat to Chairman Mao, as I have told you, that we will not support the Taiwan Independence Movement. I am sure that he will repeat that we will not support one China, one Taiwan." PM ZHOU: "Not a policy of two Chinas." DR. KISSINGER: "I was coming to that -- the Prime Minister is always one step ahead of me." DR. KISSINGER: "… With respect to the Taiwan Independence Movement, we will give no support, either direct or indirect. If you have any reliable information to the contrary, get it to me and I will see that whatever is going on is stopped. [PM Zhou nods.] We cannot be responsible for things which may happen without American encouragement, without American support, without American participation. But we will give it no support in any form whatsoever. I repeat, if you have information to the contrary, get it to me and we will stop whatever is going on."
