Taiwan

A new poll shows Taiwan President Ma Ying-jou trailing his DPP opponent. Inequality, unemployment and close ties to China are complicating his bid for re-election next year.

The US decision not to sell Taiwan the latest F-16 fighter is a sign ties could be unravelling. Washington should back a Taiwan breakout strategy.

The US is wrong if it assumes it can always be business as usual after arms sales to Taiwan. As China rises, the temptation to push back grows.

The Obama administration’s decision to offer upgrades to Taiwan’s aging F-16 fighter fleet will annoy Beijing and unsettle Taiwan.

Taiwan’s South China Sea claims are outdated. It could earn some vital regional goodwill by abandoning them.

Bartering Taiwan for better ties with China is a mistake. Ambitious powers see such concessions as an appetizer, not dessert.

China has repeatedly made clear its vision for Taiwan. Wishful thinking over interdependence won’t change this, says Daniel Lynch.

Those that believe the status quo with Taiwan can go on indefinitely are being far too complacent, argues Daniel Lynch.

The trade deal between China and Taiwan is about much more than economics. China admits it, so why won’t Taiwan’s president?
