Several developments in 2007 deserve particular note. The first and perhaps the year's most noticeable development or progress in bilateral relations is Washington and Beijing's growing common interest in the stability of the Taiwan Strait and their shared concerns over and strongly expressed opposition to Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian's plan for a referendum on the island's bid for United Nations membership under the name of Taiwan.

The official US position remains that it does not support Taiwan independence and opposes any unilateral acts aimed at changing the current status quo; and high-ranking US officials, from Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, deputy national security advisor and senior Asian director, to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Christensen, and to the chairman of American Institute in Taiwan, all expressed deep concerns over this potentially dangerous development and openly voiced opposition to such an action. Indeed, from perhaps the most pro-Taiwan administration since Washington severed official ties with Taipei in 1979, the George W Bush administration has become the most vocal critic of the Chen Shui-bian government.
