Summary
"Taiwan remains heavily dependent on the United States for its security, but it must use its own resources to cope with Beijing's constant intimidation and pressure. How Taiwan responds to the internal and external challenges it faces-and what the United States and other outside powers do to help-will determine whether it is able to stand its ground against China's ambitions. The author explores the broad range of issues and policy choices Taiwan confronts and offers suggestions both for what Taiwan can do to help itself and what the United States should do to improve Taiwan's chances of success"-- Provided by publisher
