A Study on Japan-Taiwan Political Relations of the Early Periods of 1960's

1951年的《旧金山条约》以及随后签订的《日中和平条约》(中国共和国)意味着，在美国的反对下，日本不能与中华人民共和国(中国共和国)建立外交关系。在经历了二十年的中美和解后，日本于1972年与中华人民共和国建立了外交关系。同时，中华民国政府决定与日本断交。但中华民国政府选择与日本保持非正式关系，包括经济关系、人员往来等。出乎意料的是，尽管断交了，但两国关系在那之后得到了发展。到目前为止，对断交的政治过程已经有了相当的研究，但之后的日中关系还没有得到充分的研究。我曾两次到台北搜集七十年代日中关系的资料。特别是参观了国民党档案馆，对我的学习很有帮助。我还在台北会见了几位研究日中关系的专家，包括中国文化大学(中国文化大学)日本文化研究所所长陈鹏仁教授，他曾任国民党党史委员会主任。我还会见了前国民党秘书长马树理先生。他是一九七二年中日关系解体后负责处理中日关系的关键人物之一。笔者通过在台北的调研发现，日台关系在断交后仍在发展，这不仅是因为两国在政治领域和经济文化领域有着紧密的人脉关系，而且也是因为日台关系的密切。

The San Francisco Treaty of 1951, followed by the conclusion of Japan-ROC (the Republic of China) Peace Treaty implied that under the United States opposition Japan could not be able to establish diplomatic relations with the PRC (People's Republic of China). After twenty years under the Sino-American Rapprochement, Japan established diplomatic relations with PRC in 1972. At the same time the ROC government decided to break off diplomatic relations with Japan. But the ROC government chose to keep informal relations with Japan including economic relations, interchange between personnel and so on. Unexpectedly Japan-ROC relations has developed after that notwithstanding the break-off of diplomatic ties. So far the political process of breaking off has rather been studied, but Japan-ROC relations after that has not been fully studied yet. I have been in Taipei twice to collect materials on Japan-Roc relations in the 1970'. Especially the visit to the Dangshiguan (Kuomintang Archives) was very helpful for my study. Also in Taipei I met with several specialists who were studying Japan-ROC relations including Professor Chen Pengren, director of Institute for Japanese Culture Studies, Zhongguo Wenhua University (the Chinese Cultural University) He was former director of the Committee for Kuomintang Party history. And I met with Mr.Ma Shuri who was former secretary-general of the Kuomintang. He was one of the key-persons who were responsible for managing ROC-Japan relations just after the break-off in 1972. Through the research in Taipei I found that the Japan-Taiwan relation has been developing even after the break-off because of the close human network not only political field but economic and cultural fields.
