In Memoriam
David Dean
David Dean served his country with great distinction. He was a U.S. Naval aviator in
World War II. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and his
Masters degree from Columbia University, he was a Foreign Service Officer from 1951-1979.
His assignment to the U.S. Foreign Service Language School in Taichung, Taiwan, began a
career focused on Chinese affairs, including notably Taiwan. He was Political Counselor and
Charge d'Affaires in Taipei, Deputy Principal Officer at the U.S. Consulate General in Hong
Kong, and Deputy Chief of Mission in Peking.
The break in all official U.S. relations with Taiwan accompanied the Jimmy Carter
administration’s agreement to establish official relations with the People’s Republic of China
(PRC) on January 1, 1979. American relations with Taiwan were to be carried out by a
technically unofficial and very experimental entity known as the American Institute in Taiwan
(AIT). Mr. Dean was named Managing Director. Bipartisan majorities in the two houses of
Congress opposed many aspects of the Carter administration’s treatment of Taiwan; they
strengthened U.S. support for Taiwan and the fledgling AIT during strenuous debate and
extensive amendments leading to the Taiwan Relations Act of April 1979.
Strong disagreement and deep distrust festered between many in the Congress and
officials representing the Carter administration regarding Taiwan. Nevertheless, Mr. Dean
worked with remarkable effectiveness both with his overseers in the administration and with
congressional members and staff. His colleagues in both branches repeatedly cited features that
marked his entire career: “fairness, moderation, reasonableness and compassion.” He eschewed
the limelight, working diligently in shoring up AIT and American support for Taiwan within the
overall framework of the U.S. one China policy.
These were difficult times for U.S.-Taiwan relations and for AIT. Senior officials in the
Carter and early Ronald Reagan administrations favored continued cuts in U.S. interaction with
Taiwan as a means to win favor with and improve relations with Beijing. A compromise in the
August 17, 1982 communiqué between the United States and China seemed to signal a gradual
end of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. David Dean and the director of AIT in Taiwan, James Lilley,
are credited with a concurrent move, the provision of “six assurances” from the U.S. president to
the Taiwan president, which showed continued strong support for Taiwan and offset negative
reaction to the 1982 communiqué.
George Shultz, Secretary of State 1983-1989, began a period of greater U.S. resolve to
support Taiwan despite China’s objections. But other challenges emerged. Congressional
members pushed for greater human rights and democracy in Taiwan while many Taiwan
oppositionists were detained and mistreated and Taiwan leader Chiang Ching-kuo seemed very
ill. A leading Taiwan general came to Washington looking for support for a new more
authoritarian regime. Mr. Dean mobilized his extensive contacts on Capitol Hill and within the
administration to put a stop to such ambitions. Chiang Ching-kuo recovered, banished the
general to an ambassadorship as far away from Taiwan as possible, and resumed slow but
accelerating moves toward democracy in Taiwan.
Mr. Dean left the post of Managing Director and went to direct the AIT office in Taipei
from 1987 to 1989, supporting the burgeoning free elections ushering in a new era of Taiwan
democracy. After returning to Washington, he served for many years as Advisor to the Chiang
Ching-kuo Foundation, a major source of support for scholarly work on Chinese affairs including
Taiwan. He participated actively on the Board of our American Association of Chinese Studies.
The University of Virginia honored Mr. Dean in 2011 with the establishment of the David Dean
21st Century Professorship in Asian Studies.
Those of us who had the opportunity to get to know David Dean remark that a life of
such importance never altered his kind and attentive interchange with whomever he encountered.
He was a warm friend, a wonderful colleague and a true gentleman.

In Memoriam
Hungdah Chiu
I first met Professor Hungdah Chiu in 1984 at a workshop held in Chicago.
Professor Chiu and I were the two guest speakers. I remember the talks were about social and
political changes in Mainland China. After the work-shop, Professor Chiu asked me to send him
a copy of my resume so that he could recommend me to join the Association of Chinese Social
Scientists in North America and the American Association of Chinese Studies. This meeting with
Professor Chiu was a significant event to me for I turned my focus of research on China studies
for the next twenty some years. Several of my research works were published by the Maryland
Series in Contemporary Asian Studies under his editorship.
Over the years we met quite regularly at several professional conferences held in the
United States and Taiwan and I came to know him relatively well as a person and a scholar.
Professor Chiu was a no nonsense person. Conversations with him had always been on the
subject of scholarly interest, no small talk on weather, sports, or personal affairs. In reviewing
the manuscripts I submitted to him for publication, he paid great attention to every detail,
ranging from the accuracy of historical records to the clarity of every footnote. It was a great
honor for me that he would accept and publish my manuscripts.
Professor Chiu was a man of great integrity. He was a firm supporter of the Republic of
China on Taiwan. He devoted his entire life to protect and promote the interest of the
government and people of Taiwan. Throughout his life, he never changed his allegiance. As an
expert on international law, Professor Chiu played a significant role in securing Taiwan’s status
in the international arena.
Professor Chiu was very generous and kind to young scholars. He often unselfishly
introduced them to various professional associations and provided them with research funding.
Most importantly, he offered his Maryland Series in Contemporary Asian Studies to younger
scholars as a publication opportunity. I was very fortunate to receive such help from Professor
Chiu while a junior faculty at Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne and a member of the
Association of Chinese Social Scientists in North America.
Without any doubt, the death of Professor Hungdah Chiu was a tremendously great loss
to the academic community of China studies and to the government and people of the Republic
of China on Taiwan. We will miss him.
