Nixon confirmed that the Chinese Communists at first demanded that throughout the communique Taiwan be referred to as a province of China. He said he had demurred, insisting that the U.S. side could refer to Taiwan only as a part of China. Nixon's reasoning was that being dubbed a province of China would place Taiwan immediately in a subordinate position vis-a-vis the People's Republic of China; whereas being labeled a part of China would give Taiwan, despite its smaller size, a higher status vis-a-vis the mainland. I could tell by listening to Nixon that he was very pleased with himself on this matter.
