Challenges of Cross-Strait Relations for the ROC's New Government

Abstract

On March 18, 2000, President-elect Chen Shui-bian ended more than 50 years of Kuomintang (KMT) rule in Taiwan and initiated the first peaceful transfer of power in 5,000 years of Chinese history. Mr. Chen's victory has raised many questions about Taiwan's future. Based on the historical efforts and the current cross-strait policy of both sides, this project examines the challenges that has confronted by the Republic of China's (ROC) new government, in terms of political, economic, military and psychological perspectives. According to these challenges, this analysis suggests that the new government should take the right remedial steps to correct the shortcomings, resolve the challenges of cross-strait relationships and of political posture, and focus on enhancing international cooperation and support, in order to build up a more secure and prosperous circumstance in the future.
