World News The Peace Makers: Begin and Sadat By Karyn d'Eon and Maureen McSpadden Wide World Photos The Peoples' Republic Midnight, December 31, 1978 Normalization became final between the US. and Red China. On this date, the American Embassy in Taiwan was abandoned. Negotiations between Peking and Washington had been going on for some time. Carter had hoped that Chinese Vice Premier Teng l-lsiao-p'ing would agree to let US. recognition of Taiwan continue. This did not happen. China insisted that the U.S. cut off diplomatic relations. After 72 hours of exchange, Carter conceded. Teng agreed that Washington's defense treaty with Taiwan did not have to be abrogated until one year after normalization. Few in Washington seemed to feel that the new relations would interfere with detente with Russia. Moreover, Washington's negotiations with Peking gave them fresh options in dealing with the Soviets. China also had its advantages. Premier Hau Kou-feng hoped that ties with the U.S. would persuade Vietnam, Moscow's ally, to stop its current invasion of Cambodia, Peking's ally. Premier Hau announced the normalization agreement to his people at the precise moment Carter spoke in Washington. TAIWAN: Not everyone was excited about the exchange. From Taipei, cries rang out against the American traitors Carter sells peanuts and friends, was a popular poster phrase. Said one Taiwanese official: We don't understand you Americans. It seems that if you can kill Americans- like the Japanese, the Germans and the Chinese did-then you can be their friend. The treaty that the U.S. had held with Taiwan for 24 years had ended. But the Taiwanese were not the only ones to protest. U.S. Rep. Senator Barry S. Goldwater of Arizona claimed Carter's actions were unconstitutional. l-le referred to it as a cowardly act that stabs in the back the nation of Taiwan. Goldwater plans to take Carter to court for extracting the treaty without the consent of Congress. On New Year's Eve, while the American flag was being dragged through the muddy streets of Taipei, Vice President Mondale was sipping champagne with Chinese Ambassador Chai Tse-min in Washington, Carter was in the Caribbean. Camp David On Sept. 6, 1978 , President James Carter, lsrael's Menachem Begin and Egypt's Anwar Sadat met at Camp David, MD. On Sept. 17, they signed the West Bank and Sinai agreements. If the two nations governments agreed, a treaty was to be signed within three months. After the summit no treaty was drawn or signed. Religion Albino Cardinal Luciani, Partiarch of Venice, was elected as the 263rd Catholic Pope on Aug. 26 by the Cardinals at the Sistine Chapel in Rome Italy. The former Pope, Paul VI, died in his sleep on Aug. 6. A month later the New Pope died of a heart attack shocking the world. More over the election of the first non-Italian Pope in 450 years threw a startling blow at Catholics everywhere. Poland's Karol Wojtyla, 58, chose the name of Pope John Paul ll in honor of his predecessors. DNF
