Unlike in Indonesia and the Philippines, where ethnic Chinese are rarely given the opportunity to serve in the central government. Therefore, political parties focus on ethnic needs and issues. Therefore, it is important to gain a greater understanding of the degree to which ethnic Malaysian Chinese are participating in these elections and wha…

State and Industrial Policy

It examines China's three policy initiatives and the programs of Ch…

The Political Economy of Taiwan ́s Relations with Vietnam

This article argues that the Taiwan authorities are using the island's economic resources in exchange for political gains from Vietnam. Taiwan's economic diplomacy has been quit…

But, Southeast Asian countries held Taiwan responsible for stimulating the mainland's military actions because of the island's claim for independence. Why? There are three different theoretical argumen…
