| Summary/Abstract |
THE WORLD is accustomed to perceiving the Taiwan problem exclusively within the context of Sino-American relations and the well-established claim that "Taiwan is an integral part of the People's Republic of China." However, that inertia is deceptive, especially today. Against the backdrop of a sharp escalation of the confrontation between Beijing and Washington, the growth of the PRC's economic, political, and military power and, accordingly, the determination of the US to retain military and strategic superiority in the eastern Asia-Pacific region and the world as a whole, the resolution of the Taiwan issue is becoming increasingly uncompromising.
