Abstract
China and Taiwan should seek progress on modest steps to improve the cross-strait atmosphere and help keep tensions under control in what remains a dangerously volatile region.
China and Taiwan: Uneasy Détente, the latest briefing from the International Crisis Group, examines relations between the two since Crisis Group last reported on cross-strait issues in February 2004, and analyses the U.S. role in helping to restore regional stability in that period. While no major changes in the policies of the three are foreseen, the new briefing recommends moderate moves, including enhanced bilateral economic and personnel exchanges.
