Changing China–Taiwan Relations and Asia-Pacific Regionalism: Economic Co-operation and Security Challenge

Chapter 11 in Asia-Pacific Economic and Security Co-operation, 2003, pp 185-196 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the election of Chen Shui-bian as Taiwan’s President in 2000, there have been significant changes in China–Taiwan relations. Economically, China and Taiwan have moved closer to each other. Politically, however, they are drifting further apart. Given that both Beijing and Taipei have a wide range of economic and trade connections with most countries in the Asia-Pacific, the future of their relations will have a far-reaching impact on the economic and security situation in the region. This chapter will first examine recent developments in Cross-Strait relations, focusing specifically on two plausible future scenarios. It will then consider the likely implications of each scenario on Asia-Pacific co-operation.
