❸中美“八一七公报”“the China-US August17 Communiqué”(1982)
美方承诺“它不寻求执行一项长期向台湾出售武器的政策，它向台湾出售的武器在性能和数量上将不超过建交以来近几年的供应水平，它准备逐步减少它对台湾的武器出售，并经过一段时间导致最后的解决”。The US side undertook in the Communiqué that “it does not seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan,that its arms sales to Taiwan will not exceed,either in qualitative or in quantitative terms,the level of those supplied in recent years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China,and that it intends gradually to reduce its sales of arms to Taiwan,over a period of time,to a final resolution.”
