What the 2016 Elections Revealed Regarding Taiwan's Politics, as Seen in Democratic Theory
This article attempts to decipher the meaning of Taiwan's January 2016 general elections by focusing on the factors that underscored the landslide victories by the opposition DPP party over the long-time ruling KMT. The ultimate aim is to answer the larger question of how to understand Taiwan's politics from the perspective of democratic theory. Two of the attributes that a true democracy must have are: (1) an opposition party loyal to the common…
From Revolutionary Regime to Normal Governance: China's Long March toward Political Reform
The author analyzes the post-2003 transformation of China from a revolutionary Communist regime into one of "normal governance" (a term Premier Wen Jiabao coined in 2003), placing the change in a comparative framework pioneered by Crane Brinton in his monumental study of the four classic revolutions (French, English, American, and Bolshevik). Crane Brinton found a universal pattern that he called the Thermidorean reaction, a surprisingly early re…
The Age of Geoeconomics, China’s Global Role, and Prospects of Cross-Strait Integration

This book is a penetrating study of the long conflict between China and Japan. Drawing upon history, geopolitics and geoeconomics, this volume examines these important Asian powers at the bilateral, r
Pacific Asia in the Twenty-First Century World Order
A t the dawn of the twenty-first century, what can we reasonably expect as a new world order that may shape the direction of world affairs and set the agenda for the community of nations? How does Asia fit in the picture within this global order? In my discussion here, I will focus on the role that Pacific Asia, especially China, is likely to play in the twenty-first century and its significance for the world at large.1

The U.S. “All-Out Engagement” China Policy and Its Implications for Beijing and Taipei
AIthough the triadic relationship entangling the United States, mainland China, and Taiwan can be approached from any of the three perspectives, in this article I look at it mainly from the U.S. point of view. Unless otherwise specified, the term Sino-U.S. relations refers to U.S. relations with both parts of China, straddling the Taiwan Strait. Because the new U.S. all-out engagement policy toward mainland China cannot be fully appreciated in is…

Human Rights and International Relations: Morality, Law, and Politics
In reassessing the evolution of the post-1945 human rights movement, the paper identifies three “waves” or genres of human rights, generally representing the divisions between the Western and non-Western nations on the subject. A number of serious problems are raised, such as “double standards” maintained by some countries concerning human rights. This is followed by an evaluation of the possible clash between two perspectives: (a) the Third Worl…
China's Bitter Victory: The War with Japan, 1937-1945
The Post-Cold-War World Order and the Gulf Crisis
In a real sense, the Persian Gulf crisis, which erupted with Iraq's 2 August 1990 invasion of Kuwait and ended with Iraq's defeat in a war with U.S.-led forces, has to be understood within the context of the emergent world order following the end of the cold war. Likewise, a workable solution for regional peace in the Middle East must also be sought within the context of the new world conditions. Yet the significance of the new order is only now …
From the Vantage of the Beijing Hotel: Peering into the 1989 Student Unrest in China
Much of this article is based on my on-the-spot observations in the People's Republic of China (PRC) from 11 April th ough 10 June. Except for part of May, I was in Beijing and saw the prolonged student protest at close range. From the rooftop of the Beijing Hotel, I witnessed to the extent possible at least part of the tragic events that befell Beijing the night of 3 June through the early morning of 4 June. Of course, there are always limitatio…
Hong Kong’s Structural Relationship with the Central Government in Beijing after 1997
n this brief article, I shall attempt to address Hong Kong's structural n (i.e., legal and administrative) relationship with the Central People's Government (CPG) after Hong Kong's reversion to China in 1997. In doing so, I shall consult the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), enacted by the National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing on 4 April 1990.' Because this is not a review of the Basic Law in general, I shall d…
Policy Evolution: The U.S. Role in China's Reunification
Political Considerations I
As we look to the twenty-first century, which many say will be the Pacific Century, a potential trouble spot is the delicate situation across the Taiwan Strait. The uneasy peace that has prevailed in more recent years was at times marred by minor incidents such as shellings between frontline outposts, latent threats posed by swarming mainland fishing vessels that occasionally pressed uncomfortably close to the shores of Taiwan proper, and similar…

The Hong Kong Settlement: Effects on Taiwan and Prospects for Peking's Reunification Bid
The London-Peking accords' concerning the future of Hong Kong, reached on September 26, 1984, may not have been necessary. For some time, there had been a strong possibility that the People's Republic of China (PRC) would repeat for Hong Kong the formula used in 1975 in respect to Macao. Having first declined Portugal's offer to return Macao in 1974, Peking then signed an agreement the following year that allowed Portugal to continue to retain th…
Taiwan in 1984: Festivity, New Hope, and Caution
It was a time for celebration and a time for sorrow, for hope and for somberness, for new starts and for cautious pauses. In 1984, the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan saw the festive inauguration of its seventh President (Chiang Ching-kuo) and seventh Vice President (Li Teng-hui) and the installation of a new cabinet under Premier Yu Kuo-hwa. It went through moments of despair earlier as the revered and able Premier Sun Yun-hsuan was disabled b…

Chinese Critique of the “Socialist Commonwealth”: Implications for Proletarian Internationalism and Peaceful Coexistence
Being a China specialist in the midst of a panel of Soviet experts, I find myself as something of a marginal man. The theme of the meeting and the concern of the panel is the future of intergovernmental systems within the socialist commonwealth. Unfortunately, I must take a more pessimistic view than those who have gone before me. My research has yielded little on the relationship between socialist international organizations and the People’s Rep…

Reagan’s China Policy and the Sino-Soviet Détente
We cannot discuss the Reagan administration's China policy outside the general context of its overall foreign-policy goals. These goals are: (a) To end what Reagan considers to be a decade of foreign-policy vacillations and ambivalence; (b) to check the onslaught of Soviet expansionism (which he attributes to the failures of the previous detente policy); (c) to reassert U.S. leadership in the free world; and (d) to ensure the West's access to vit…
