  • The limitations of the foot-in-the-door effect in China’s united front work toward Taiwan

    Open AccessPin-Hsuan Wu, W H Tsai et al.ARTICLEJournal of Asian and African…2026

    This study employs the foot-in-the-door (FITD) effect as an analytical framework for examining the effectiveness of China’s united front efforts targeting Kinmen. FITD refers to a persuasion technique characterized by the gradual commitment of resources to achieve incremental effects on the recipient. Operationally, we establish a United Front Effectiveness Index (UFEI) to quantify and interpret the FITD concept. Focusing on the case of Kinmen Co…

  • No Turning Back? Assessing China’s Intent to Use Force to Resolve the Taiwan Issue After 2018

    Hsin-Hsien Wang, Hsin‐Hsien Wang et al.ARTICLEIssues & Studies2023References: 3

    This paper collects and analyzes the speeches of top Chinese leaders on Taiwan, the relevant remarks of Taiwan-related ministries and commissions, and important documents concerning Taiwan. It takes the visit of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan as an example to observe China’s current policy toward Taiwan and its intent to employ force. This paper argues that although the outside world has repeatedly emphasized that “Taiwan is the most d…

  • Building a Hyper-Stability Structure

    Hsin-Hsien Wang, Hsin‐Hsien Wang et al.ARTICLEIssues & Studies2021Cited by: 1References: 9

    Having been a stable authoritarian regime for more than seven decades, China is an excellent example of how authoritarian regimes can resist pressure from a rapidly transforming society. Its capacity to adapt to social change and maintain a strong hold on power has been observed by students of Chinese politics in the nature of its institutions. These include fragmented governments, decentralization, flexible governance, adaptive capacity, consult…

  • Hobbling Big Brother

    W H Tsai, Wen‐hsuan Tsai et al.ARTICLEThe China Journal2021Cited by: 4References: 8

    This article argues that policy implementation in China has moved toward a system under which the center formulates a blueprint or “top-level design” from which local officials devise detailed regulations through a process of “crossing the river by feeling for stones.” This applies to the development of China’s new social credit system. To minimize political risk, when implementing it local officials have selected easier goals from the “top-level…

  • Between a Rock and a Hard Place

    Hsin-Hsien Wang, Hsin‐Hsien Wang et al.ARTICLEIssues & Studies2020References: 12

    In comparison to hegemony, lesser powers usually struggle for survival between two or more great powers under state power asymmetry, a perpetual phenomenon in international politics. With the rise of China and the increasingly strengthening role of the US in the Asia-Pacific region, it is important to learn how lesser powers manage their relations with the two. To explore this issue, we propose that the strength of state power will constrain the …

  • The Nature of Popular Protest and the Employment of Repressive State Capacity in China

    Shinn‐Shyr Wang, Shinn-Shyr Wang et al.ARTICLEIssues & Studies2019References: 18

    While China’s economic reforms have produced undeniably positive outcomes, a rapid increase in popular protests has become most striking in recent years. As protests grow steadily in both scale and frequency, the government continues to tout social stability as the chief concern of China today. These mounting tensions reflect a direct clash of horns between the maintenance of stability and the public’s desire to exercise their rights, frequently …

  • Choosing Democracy in China? Explaining Why Local Officials Allow Electoral Uncertainty in the Chinese Village Committee Elections

    Wei-Feng Tzeng, Hsin-Hsien Wang et al.ARTICLEAsian Affairs An American Review2017

    We argue that the choice of electoral rules in Chinese villages results from the incentives that rural party elites face in their efforts to control electoral results. Using the rationalist approach, we propose four conditions under which they will adopt an institution that allows for electoral uncertainty: a large proportion of revenue from village-owned enterprises (VOEs), a large size of electorate, the presence of strong social groups, and fr…
