(AP) U.S. turns back on Taiwan By GEORGE GEDDA Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States, anxious to pre serve its fragile relationship with the People’s Republic of China, has refused for the past two years to accept the ap pointment of a new ambassador from Taiwan, according to ad ministration sources. The officials say U.S. accept ance of a new ambassador could be interpreted in Peking as a sign that the United States is deferring fulfillment of its goal of normalizing relations with the mainland. For the same reason, the Carter administration has de cided not to replace career dip lomat Unger, U.S. am bassador in Taipei since 1974, officials said. Ambassadorial changes, nor mally routine business, are complicated in the case of Tai wan, given the commitment of the past three administrations to end government-to-govem ment relations with the island and establish full diplomatic ties with Peking. Taiwan has been represented here since 1971 by Ambassador James Shen, who assumed his duties two months before for mer President Richard M. Nix on announced his new China policy. Nixon’s moves broke more than two decades of U.S. hostility toward the Peking re gime. U.S. security and diplomatic links with Taiwan have been the main obstacles blocking normalized relations with Pe king. A successsion of U.S. ad ministrations has been unable to find a formula for ending the links in away that is politically acceptable. Public opinion polls indicate strong U.S. opposition to nor malized ties with China if such a move jeopardizes Taiwan’s security. American officials acknowl edge the Nixon decision to seek an accommodation with the People's Republic has made Shen’s six-year stay here un usually difficult. As a representative of a gov ernment from which the United States wants to disassociate it self, Shen has been denied ac cess to top U.S. officials. He had one meeting with for mer Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger in late 1973, but had no subsequent meetings despite repeated requests. Officials point out, however, that Kissinger’s contact with am bassadors here was restricted to a select few. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, more accessible to the ambassadorial corps than Kis singer, has not yet granted Shen an audience. In contrast, the head of China’s liaison office here, Huang Chen, saw Kissinger of ten and has had several meet ings with Vance and one with President Carter.
