Policy Forum 06-40A: The U.S.-China-Taiwan Triangle: Towards Equilibrium
Donald S. Zagoria, a trustee of the NCAFP, a private American think tank dedicated to resolving conflicts that threaten U.S. national interests, writes, “In sum, the conditions for equilibrium in the Taiwan Strait are now at least visible. It is possible but unlikely that President Chen, in his remaining two years in office, can or will challenge this equilibrium– China, for its part, is unlikely in the short run to abandon its ‘hearts and minds’ strategy and will probably resume an official dialog with whichever party wins the Taiwan presidency in 2008.”
