Relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China have fluctuated between open hostility and cautious accord since the archipelago has separated from the Communist mainland for more than six decades. While the mainland has always welcomed the island, it has resisted Taiwan - with the help of the United States - which continues to play a crucial role in cross-Straits relations today. In this comprehensive analysis, China's expert Stephen Goldstein pointed out that although relations between Taiwan and its larger neighbor have eased, underlying tensions remain unresolved.

The flames of this fire can explode at any moment, sweeping through the entire region and drawing the United States into a serious confrontation with the prolific "People's Republic of China" readers with experience through the historical background of the complexities of this fragile peace. Goldstein discusses economic transformation, political and security terrain, The United States is playing arms and diplomatic support for Taiwan with a complex relationship with China, which is growing stronger.

Drawing on a wealth of recently revoked material, this compelling and insightful book is an invaluable guide to one of the world's most dangerous conflicts.
