一九五八(民國四十七)年的第二次臺海危機，期間約二個月(是年八月二十三日，至十月二十三日。)，毛澤東奪取金門的試探性質大過於其決心。其過程約可分為四期：自砲戰發生至九月四日，美國國務卿杜勒斯發表〈臺海情勢聲明〉，為第一期。自九月六日中共表示願與美國會談，到十五日雙方展開第一次華沙會談，為第二期。九月十六日以後，在美艦護航下，國軍金門運補，逐漸進步；至十月六日，中共宣布停止砲擊一週，為第三期。十月七日以後，中共持續宣布停止砲擊，到十月二十三日，杜勒斯結束訪臺，中、美「聯合公報」發表，為第四期。

The Second Taiwan Strait Crisis (the Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1958) was lasted for two months or so, was proved that Mao Zedong`s intention to invade Kinmen was in the nature of test rather than a strong determination. It can be divided into four stages. First, it was ignited by the time PRC (People`s Republic of China) started bombing, in a large scale, Kinmen on August 23. And on September 4 in that year, then U.S. Secretary of State, John F. Dulles issued a declaration on the situation across the Taiwan Strait. Second, on September 6, PRC made a positive gesture toward holding a talk with U.S. And then on September 15, two parties formally held the first round of talks in Warsaw. Third, after September 16, escorted by U.S. fleets, ROC`s (Republic of China) naval supply ships could do their duty so smoothly that halted PRC`s intention of blockading and even cutting Kimen`s supply lines. On October 6, PRC declared, with a free hand, that it will stop bombing Kinmen for a week. Fourth, after October 7, PRC prolonged the suspense of its bombing and then on October 23, John F. Dulles finished his visit to Taiwan, ROC and U.S. issued a joint communiqué.
