China-Taiwan: What Kind of Unification

Abstract

The question of Taiwan's potential reunification with China is significant for US policymakers, as they assess US interests in Asia and redefine them. They must evaluate the effects of today's economic and political trends that are globalizing the world's economies. This paper will review the nature of recent economic development in China, the potential impact of that development on the political unity of China, Taiwan's contribution to the mainland's economy, and the impact of Taiwan's continued economic contact with the mainland. It will also speculate on Taiwan's value as an agent of permanent change in China, and how that role works toward US interests.
