This thesis examines the causes of diplomatic troubles between China and the United States over the Sino-U. S. Peaceful Use of Atomic Energy a greement concluded first during President Reagan's visit to China in 1984. At the time the U. S. government wanted good relations with PRC in order to compete with the Soviet threat under a very severe confrontational situation. At the same time U. S. electric businesses strongly needed China's vast market to sell their nuclear plants, because of the slump caused by Three Mile Island accident. Therefore, for those two reasons the Reagan administration was eager to conclude an agreement during his trip to China as one of his diplomatic achievements. But unfortunately the agreement initialed by both nations was a defective product. China's pledge not to proliferate the atomic devices, technologies and materials to irresponsible and dangerous third nations such as Pakistan and Iran was not clear enough to satisfy a suspicious U. S. congress. Press revelations that the pledge by China was not clearly stated in the agreement but rather vaguely stated in the words of the toast by Chinese premier Zhao during the welcome party held in the White House caused a sensation in the Congress.And the failure by the administration to give the full text of the agreement to Congress and to let the Ambassador Kennedy who negotiated the agreement to explain the process further aggravated the situation. The Reagan administration secretly tried to re-negotiate with the Chinese government but failed and was deadlocked by the hard-nosed Chinese refusal. Therefore, inept diplomacy and poor handling of the Congress and the high handed attitude of Chinese government combined destroyed the agreement. Later the effort to reactivate the agreement was revived and the agreement was enacted at the time of the visit by Chinese State Chairman, Li Hsian-nian in 1985. But before the agreement brought significant results, the Tiananmen Incident in June 4, 1989 destroyed the agreement again by the imposition of economic sanctions by the U. S.. Chairman Jiang Zemin's first official visit to the U. S. last year finally reactivated the agreement and paved the way for the U. S. atomic plant to the Chinese market. But behind such a change, were many factors: the end of cold war, China's reform policy, energy shortage caused by a economic expansion, environmental change, reevaluation of atomic energy as a clean source of energy, recognition of the technology gap with the U. S. and need for help from the U. S. Recognition of such elements prompted the Chinese government to make effort to comply with the international norm of nonproliferation by joining the Non-proliferation treaty, International Atomic Energy Agency, and Zangger Committee and by enforcing strict domestic control regulations.
