Title ProperComparing Jiang Zemin's impatience with Hu Jintao's patience regarding the Taiwan issue, 1989-2012
LanguageENG
AuthorChen, Chien-Kai
Publication2012.
Summary / Abstract (Note)Although the essence of China's Taiwan policy has not changed from the era of Jiang Zemin to the present, the era of Hu Jintao, Jiang's and Hu's attitudes are different. Jiang was impatient with the delay in the unification of China and Taiwan, talking about timetables for unification; however, Hu has so far been patient, saying that he is not afraid of delaying unification. The purpose of this paper is to explain why their attitudes are different. I argue that two factors combine to result in Jiang's impatience and Hu's patience: conflicting 'perceptions of Taiwan's domestic politics and Taiwan's China policy' and differing 'perceptions of the US behavior and attitude regarding Taiwan'.
