商品簡介
As political leaders in Taiwan press for independence, there is danger of a catastrophic war with the unification seeking Chinese that could very well involve the United States, warns Wang (sociology, William Paterson U.). In this work he seeks to unpack the main facets of the Taiwan issue, reviewing the socioeconomic development of China and Taiwan over the past 50 years and weighing whether the two have more irreconcilable differences than fundamental similarities. He also assesses the US role in the region and it has affected the relationship between China and the United States. The probability of war is analyzed and possible options for avoiding war are discussed. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
