China Taiwan policy

Today's Chinese nationalism is built on CCP loyalty and Han culture and identity – and thus leaves out a large number of China’s people.

For China, the pandemic was more burden than opportunity. 

Even more than Tsai’s landslide re-election, the outbreak spells major trouble for the CCP’s unification agenda.

The Chinese government threatened Czech companies over a planned Taiwan visit by a top Czech official. It’s part of a global strategy to pressure entities that engage with Taiwan.

The framework for governing Hong Kong and Macau – and, Beijing hopes, one day Taiwan – is battered but unbroken.

Taipei and Beijing could both extend olive branches in the name of a public health emergency that would otherwise be politically infeasible.

The 1992 Consensus is being challenged by each of the three major forces shaping cross-strait relations: the DPP, the KMT, and Beijing.

Taiwan's presidential election was heavily influenced by cross-strait relations. What comes next?

Why does so much of China's approach to Taiwan under the DPP seem self-defeating? Because Beijing believes it has no other choice.

China's stubborn refusal to engage the Democratic Progressive Party is undermining its own stated goal of peaceful unification.

China's belligerent rhetoric toward Taiwan is all the more reason for Washington and Taipei to stick together.
