| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China has relentlessly pursued its objective of absorbing Taiwan. While the unification was once advocated by both the mainland and Taiwan, in recent decades the two have grown apart. Taiwan has become a thriving democracy while China has increased its intolerance of free speech, thought, religion, and association. The current policy of ambiguity, by which the unification issue is left for the future, is under stress as China ratchets up its political warfare and military threats against Taiwan. It is time for a thorough review of options to keep the current commitment to peaceful resolution of the unification issue and to determine how best to assure survival of Taiwan’s democracy. |
