Krátky popis
In the overwhelming chaos across Asia at the end of the Second
World War, one relatively minor issue was the future of the
Japanese colony of Taiwan, a large island some one hundred miles
off the coast of Fujian. Handed to the Kuomintang-ruled Republic of
China, in 1949 it suddenly became the focus of global attention as
a random cross-section of defeated nationalists, including
President Chiang Kai-shek, fled there from Mao's triumphant
Communist forces. The Struggle for Taiwan is a balanced and
convincing account of the sequence of events that has left Taiwan
for generations as a political anomaly, with issues around its
status and future continuing to threaten war.With deepening
democratization, Taiwan further goads Beijing, remaining
functionally independent from China even as Xi Jinping clamours for
unification. This invaluable book allows readers to understand the
complex story of this unique place and its role in international
relations. With its striking economic dynamism and commitment to
democracy, can Taiwan continue - as Hong Kong once did - to thrive,
or will China conquer it? And will the world be able to maintain
peace across the Taiwan Strait or will it stumble into war?
