Free China

Thus I met Captain Chang Yi Ming, commanding officer of the tiny guerrilla forces of Free China on Tungting Island.

1955, John C. Caldwell, Still the Rice Grows Green, Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 10:

These pressures might lead to an eventual abandonment of Free China. And this possibility, I believe, is rooted, not in the issues themselves, but in a general public attitude full of danger for our China policy.
I refer here to the fact that the attitudes of both the public and Congress are far more anti-Chinese Communist than they are pro-Free China. The public insists that Communist China is not worthy of admission to even such an utterly non-homogeneous community of nations as we have today. But we hold far less emphatic attitudes on Free China.
. . .
The danger of such an inadequately informed opinion is clear. If our China policy remains rooted more in fear of Communist China than in support of Free China, we are far more likely to be susceptible to Communist blackmail and intimidation than to be aware of the vital need for cooperation with our allies, the Free Chinese.

April 27, 1957, David Nelson Rowe, “Will We Sacrifice Free China?”, in National Review, volume III, number 17, page 397:

Have you any further word concerning Gladys Aylward, "The Small Woman," and her moving picture?

But Gladys Alyward herself recently conducted a three-week preaching mission on Free China's first line of defense, the off-shore island of Kinmen. In her meetings with the troops, scores signified their desire to accept Christ as their Savior.

The standards, released by the Ministry of Natural Resources on the approval of the State Council of the people’s republic, require that all Chinese maps “accurately reflect the scope of China’s territory.” In addition to islands in the South China Sea and Free China – which is to be called “Taiwan Province” – this also appears to include eight Russian cities that span the Sino-Russian border.

In the suburb of Tsoying (zuǒyíng) are two magnificent temples within a 10-minute walk of each other. Both are on the shore of a lake. The Spring Autumn Temple (chūn qiū gé) has a unique design and includes two pagodas that extend into the lake.

In the Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung a category killer may have a store in the northern part of town in the district called Nanzih and the management would name its outlet after the district: Nanzih Store. In this case the problem would be that many target customers living just 7 or 8 minutes away would not shop there, for reasons in large part psychological and first-degree. Because they live in Zuoying district, for example, they will feel that if the store is in another district, it is probably cumbersome to go all the way.

It was learned reliably that Chiang’s closest associates finally suggested to him directly that the only salvation for Nationalist China is for him to step down and let others try to salvage the remnants—probably through negotiation with the Communists.

But still two questions remain. Can Nationalist China take a bridgehead without American aid? And once taken, what happens next? Of what good will a small piece of land around Foochow, or Amoy, or Putien be to Free China?

Kennedy said that he was opposed to recognition of Red China. He indicated, however, that strong arguments had been presented to him in favor of the so-called “two Chinas policy.” Under this policy, Nationalist China would retain its seat on the Security Council, and Red China would have only a seat in the Assembly. This would mean that Red China would have only one vote out of about a hundred in the Assembly and would not be able to block UN action by veto.

Davis Line

1950s, named after Brig. Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Jr. a United States Air Force (USAF) general and commander of the World War II Tuskegee Airmen who was commander of Air Task Force 13 (Provisional), Taipei, Taiwan (ROC).

named-after

The line beyond which American pilots do not fly in the troubled Formosa Strait area is called the “Davis Line” in honor of Brig. Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Jr., former commander of the 13th Provisional Air Force, stationed on Formosa[.] The mythical line is an undisclosed number of miles off the coast of Red China.

1958 November 13, “Formosa ‘Battle Line’ Named After Gen. B. O. Davis”, in Jet, volume XV, number 2, Chicago: Johnson Publishing Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, Foreign News, page 17:

(3) Hostile aircraft may be considered to be committing hostile acts if flying east of "Davis Line" (an imaginary line running down the Taiwan Straits).
(4) Unknown aircraft west of Davis Line will be intercepted, identified and kept under surveillance if hostile intent is suspected and may be engaged when declared by the Commander of ATF 13 (P) or any of his three designated subordinates as being hostile.

1966 December, M. H. Halperin, “The Prolonged Blockade: Reaction on Taiwan and in the Field”, in The 1958 Taiwan Straits Crisis: A Documented History, Santa Monica, Cali.: RAND Corporation, page 376:

The rules of engagement issued by Commander in Chief Pacific and U.S. Taiwan Defense Command for the air defense of Taiwan were highly restrictive prior to the 1958 crisis. American fighters on Taiwan were only permitted to fire on hostile aircraft entering Taiwan's airspace and were not permitted hot pursuit in international airspace. U.S. combat air patrols were required to remain east of the "Davis Line," which ran approximately down the center of the Taiwan Strait. After the crisis erupted, the U.S. Air Force commander on Taiwan convinced CINCPAC and the JCS that these rules would cripple air defense efforts in the event of concerted Communist air strikes against Taiwan. In September the JCS approved three relaxations to the rules of engagement: first, U.S. fighters were authorized to engage Communist aircraft crossing the Davis Line on an apparent course toward Taiwan or allied forces;[…]

1988 December, Joseph Frederick Bouchard, “Naval Operations in Crises”, in Use of naval force in crises: A theory of stratified crisis interaction., volume II, Stanford University, published 1989, →OCLC, page 453:

Peking may be testing a four-decade-old boundary in the Taiwan Strait after Taipei ended the "period of communist rebellion" in May. Military experts say China has deliberately crossed the boundary — called the Davis Line by the US 7th Fleet which once patrolled the strait — for only the second time since 1949.

1991 June 27, “Crossing the Line”, in Far Eastern Economic Review, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 9, column 2:

The potential for in-flight encounters is increased by the constained geography between Taiwan and the mainland: the centerline of the Taiwan Strait usually has been honored as a "do not cross" boundary by both sides since it was delineated as the "Davis Line" by the US Formosa Strait Patrol in the 1950s.

2006, Bernard D. Cole, “Taiwan Air Force”, in Taiwan's Security: History and prospects, Routledge, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 112:

The Davis Line has surprisingly been in the news recently. Also referred to as the “median line,” “middle line” and “center line,” it refers to an imaginary air force “do not cross” line that runs right through the middle of the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and China.[…]
Still, the PLAAF flouted the Davis Line sparingly, only crossing it on two more occasions in 2011 and 2019.

2022 July 18, Courtney Donovan Smith [石東文], “Chinese intrusions in Taiwan's ADIZ, Ko Wen-je and death of the Davis Line”, in Taiwan News, archived from the original on 2022-07-19, Opinion:

The flights over the line — which China had rarely crossed in the past — have signaled a dramatic shift by Beijing. Prior to that, the Chinese military had ventured across the median line, which is also known as the center line or Davis Line, just four times between 1954 and August 2020 and only 23 times since September that year until Pelosi’s trip.

2022 September 7, Jesse Johnson, “'New normal' as Chinese warplanes push across Taiwan Strait median line”, in The Japan Times, archived from the original on 2022-09-07, Asia Pacific:

A boundary line, the centreline, the median line, in the middle of the Taiwan Strait, separating the (air) defence (control) zone of China from that of Taiwan.
