Whither the U.S. One China Policy? Perceptions, Interests, and Tensions over the Taiwan Strait
Dalei Jie, Associate Professor of International Studies, Peking University
In recent years, China has accused the U.S. of “hollowing out” its own one China policy, while the Biden administration has insisted that its one China policy has not changed. The talk establishes an analytical framework to assess the continuity and change of the U.S. policy, and then explores how different perceptions and interests are driving up the tensions over the Taiwan Strait.
