Full Description
Taiwan is one of the flashpoints with the potential to spark a war in East Asia. With the rhetoric of striving for peaceful unification, Xi Jinping has made clear that the Taiwan question is China's core national interest, making it essentially non-negotiable and important enough to go to war.
How has Beijing's Taiwan policy evolved? What is the support for armed reunification among the Chinese people? And how have Taiwan's internal dynamics and external relations changed in response to Beijing's evolving policy toward Taiwan? These are crucially important questions that this edited volume delves into and hopes to answer.
This book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese foreign policy, Taiwan studies and cross-Strait relations, Political Science, International Relations as well as Asian politics more generally. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Contemporary China and are accompanied by a new Introduction.
