Summary:Rapprochement between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China has moved in stops and starts since the normalization of Sino-American relations in 1979. Numerous studies have examined the prospects for a peaceful reunification between the two Chinas and many of these focus on the motivations, aims, and actions of mainland China
Dr Hsin-hsing Wu, however, makes a unique contribution to scholarship on this question by exploring the links between the reunification issue and recent political changes within Taiwan. The gradual rise of Taiwan's main opposition party, the Democratic Progressive Party, has helped to strengthen and consolidate anti-reunification sentiment and pressures. Dr Wu examines how this force has become a serious challenge to both Chinese governments' reunification policies
