Chapter Chapter 9 in From Trump to Biden and Beyond, 2021, pp 131-149 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces contemporary cross-Strait relations from 2016 to early 2021, followed by a section that briefly discusses the highly unpredictable, or unprecedented, policies of President Donald Trump toward the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Emphasis is also placed on President Joe Biden’s policies toward the Mainland and Taiwan, with a focus on “strategic ambiguity” of the Biden administration that involves the three U.S.-PRC communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, as well as the “six assurances” to Taiwan. The chapter ends with two scenarios between the U.S. and the PRC that are more possible to take place in the coming four years.
