| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The author offers an overview of complicated problems that stem, in one way or another, from Japan's policy toward Taiwan and have a direct bearing on relations between Japan and China. She puts these problems in the context of intensifying rivalry for predominance in the APR between the United States and Japan, on the one hand, and China, on the other, because Taiwan's reunification with mainland China would add significantly to China's overall strength, a prospect unpalatable to both Washington and Tokyo. Involved as it is, the situation is made worse by the dangerously escalating territorial dispute between Japan and China over the Senkaku (Diaoyudao) Islands which is closely related to the Taiwan problem.
