Review
"First, it is a well-documented and rather comprehensive chronology of the triangular relationship between Beijing, Washington and Taipei since 1949. Second, it puts into historical perspective several PRC policy concepts that were forged as early as the mid-1950s: 'peaceful liberation', 'peaceful reunification', Taiwan's political autonomy, status quo in the Straits. Third, it demonstrates convincingly that Taiwan's room for maneuver has always been narrow, and has arguably become narrower, because of the growing 'co-management' by China and the US of the 'Taiwan issue'." --The China Journal
