Summary/Abstract China-Taiwan Relations have become significantly less confrontational since 2008. One of the indicators demonstrating the improvement of their relations is the resumption of the contact between China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) in 2008 after 9 years of no formal interaction. The purpose of this paper is to explore China-Taiwan relations in the period from 1990 to 2008 by examining the interaction between the aforementioned two organizations which were founded in 1991. By analyzing the relevant official announcements and statements made by China and Taiwan in the period from 1990 to 2008, this paper finds that China became more hostile toward Taiwan and therefore its ARATS in turn was unwilling to negotiate with Taiwan's SEF when it perceived that the Taiwanese government was pushing for Taiwan's independence. By contrast, when it perceived that the Taiwanese government was more compromising on the issue of Taiwan's independence, it became relatively conciliatory and its ARATS in turn was more willing to interact with Taiwan's SEF.

Comparing Jiang Zemin's impatience with Hu Jintao's patience regarding the Taiwan issue, 1989–2012 / Chen, Chien-Kai   Journal Article

Summary/Abstract 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'.
