In: Asian affairs: an American review, Band 26, Heft 2, S. 59-117

Abstract

The editor (W. Chai) notes that relations between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan have become extremely tense since July 1999. At that time Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui introduced a new element by insisting that negotiations between Taiwan and mainland China must be based on a "special state-to-state relationship". After briefly reviewing Taiwan-Chinese relations, he presents nine essential policy papers. (DÜI-Sen)
