The Taiwan Vote: Implications for Cross-Strait Relations and American Policy
Taiwan will elect a new president and legislature on January 16, 2016. Since Taiwan’s outgoing leader took office in 2008, the regional security environment, public opinion in Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China, Beijing’s strategic posture, and U.S.-China relations have evolved rapidly.
