Since the Democratic Progressive Party won the Taiwan 2016 presidential campaign, Beijing has established a dual-track policy framework featuring “selective engagement” to address thes talemate across the Taiwan Strait. The “selective engagement” policy can be characterized as a set of complementary approaches, basically a combination of containment and engagement measures. In terms of the issue areas, it is a combination of confrontational measures in security, political and diplomatic fields, with comparatively encompassing approaches on economic, social and cultural affairs. In terms of the policy counterparts, it is a combination of punitive measures against the “Taiwan independence” activists, with accommodative approaches to all the other politically non-pro-independence forces. In conclusion, this article analyzed the challenges inherent in Beijing’s current dual-track policy
