This title was first published in 1980. For years to come, the "Taiwan question' ' is likely to raise exceedingly difficult--and potentially divisive--political and moral issues for the people of the United States, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and the Republic of China (ROC). Recent developments in both the PRC and the ROC, however, provide some hope that a peaceful resolution of this problem can be found. Both sides seem willing to at least think quietly about a range of realistic future possibilities for Taiwan. This study is a collection of views gathered from a group of Chinese-Americans with special knowledge of about the Taiwan question.
