Abstract:

China has repeatedly urged for the unification of Taiwan under the one country, two systems principle. China's continued support of the suppression of the 2019 Hong Kong protest and the current de facto police state of Hong Kong have demonstrated to Taiwan that the one country, two systems governance is not feasible. The recent 2020 Taiwan presidential election revealed the popular view of the Taiwan population for a pro-democracy, pro-independence, and pro-Taiwanese identity president. The current situation in Hong Kong reinforces the U.S. policy of supporting a peaceful resolution to the cross-Strait conflict and deterring China from coercing Taiwan to achieve unification.
