Taiwan's Relations with Mainland China

Taiwan's Relations with Mainland China is the first book to deal with the role of Taiwans leadership politics, including the personal political styles of Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian, in the development of Taiwans mainland policy and the consequences for U.S.-Taiwan relations. Including analysis of the critical and volatile 1988-2004 period, the Taiwan Straits crisis and cross-strait tension associated with the 2004 Taiwan presidential campaign, Su Chi weaves in his personal participation in Taiwan policy making during critical periods in Taiwans diplomatic history to provide insight and information on cross-strait relations that is not available elsewhere As a study of Taiwans mainland and US policy this will be a fascinating read for students and scholars of Taiwan Politics, Chinese Foreign Policy and East Asian Security studies alike.
