Abstract
Many would agree that the Sino - US relations are one of the most important bilateral relations in the world today, and the three communiques signed by the two govern- ments are the most significant agreements signed so far in managing their relation- ship. This article attempts to examine these joint communiques against their contents and historical backgrounds, and tries to discern their legal status under both international law and US domestic law. It concludes that they bear features of treaties under international law and should be regarded as legally binding instru- ments on the international plane, and that their status under US law seems ambig- uous in the absence of any court rulings up to date.
