Abstract
This chapter considers the developing relations between Taiwan and Mainland China. After a post-war history that pitted them as rival governments of China, despite both sides having to abandon the project of early reunification by military force, the primary relations between them remained hostile. These hostilities began to diminish as first Taiwan then mainland China took off economically, and the primary drivers of their bilateral relations increasingly became economic rather than political or military and the knotty problem of Taiwan’s status has been shelved. The US ‘pivot’ has tended to bring the issue of Taiwan’s status back to the fore; but while Taiwan continues to prioritise relations with the US, on which it is militarily dependent, it has shown caution about allowing tensions to rise with China.
