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. Against the backdrop of great power competition, the discrepancies in the U.S. approach has been laid bare, raising the risk that the bargain could unravel entirely and lead to war between the United States and China.
