U.S. stuck in the middle.

Taiwan has refused to back down from President Lee Teng-hui's declaration that the island was abandoning the "One China" concept, despite economic, political and military threats from Beijing. However, Taiwan has yet to face the likely threats from the U.S., which is attempting to mend relations with Beijing and so does not appreciate being put in the middle of a new crisis (Stratfor.com, Global Intelligence Update, July 14, 1999).
