Congress and Taiwan: Who Said What
Last year was the 20th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, which was first written as a protection for Taiwan against abandonment of its people and government by the administration of Jimmy Carter and its successors. The bill became law and survives until today.This work appeared tocoincide with that anniversary.The law provides that this country willmaintain Taiwan's ability to resist a coercive settlement by the Beijinggovernment. It has provided a center line for U.S. policy in the WesternPacific, but not without its detractors and would-be renovators.Trying tosort out the political threads that run through our relations with Chinaand Taiwan, and the positions taken by Members of Congress, past andcurrent, I found this book to be useful.It has organized relevantsections of the Congressional Record by section of the Act, some of whichreceived no attention, while others, much discussion.It covers the periodform 1994 to 1998 (ending with the 105th Congress), and captures the changein tone from the Democratic-controlled Congress to the Republican-led.Itcontains several useful appendices which provide a useful view of thesecurity situation in the Taiwan Strait, as well as the positions of theTaiwan Government and the Clinton Administration.I was interested in whatsome specific Congressmen had said, and an index of names made that easy todetermine.It isn't easy or light reading, but useful for those trying toanalyze the interaction of Congress, the Administration, and our foreignpolicy in a critical part of the world ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Taiwan," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Taiwan in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Taiwan when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Taiwan, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

The notorious martial law was lifted in July 1987, and long-repressed calls for democratization began to be heard that caught worldwide attention. In tandem with economic transformation, the entire world of thought in Taiwan underwent significant changes. Both economic and ideological restructuring have been basic elements of transformation in postwar Taiwan. However, rapid democratization opened a Pandora's box, and stirred awhirlwind of discord there. ... Read more
