Abstract: The relationship between China and Taiwan is not merely a continuation of the Chinese Civil War or a matter of unification versus independence. However, decision-making elites' interpretations of these two dimensions have intensified geopolitical tensions in the Taiwan Strait. This talk draws on empirical data to examine Taiwanese voters closely, offering insights into how Taiwan can navigate its “China dilemma” and how China can move beyond its “peace or war dilemma.”

中國與台灣的關係不只是中國內戰的延續,亦不只是統獨問題,但光是決策菁英在這兩個面向的理解就已造成了台灣海峽地緣政治下的更加緊繃的局面。本講從實證資料出發,近距離觀察台灣的選民,提供台灣在克服「中國兩難」以及中國超越「和戰兩難」的一些思考線索。
