  • There are growing concerns about the risk of conflict between the United States and China over Taiwan. This presentation explores the rising tensions by analyzing three different abstract terms: the pursuit by Beijing of "peaceful" unification with Taiwan; the U.S. commitment to "unofficial" relations with Taiwan; and U.S. opposition to unilateral changes to the "status quo" in the Taiwan Strait. For decades, these terms served as a bargain for maintaining peace and stability, but the agreement was only theoretical, because the United States and China never reached a joint understanding of what these terms mean in practice.
