Most Taiwanese citizens consider themselves to be an independently governed island off China's southern coast. Taiwan is in a unique diplomatic, geographic, and economic position. The People's Republic of China classifies the island as a province, while in Taiwan political leaders continue to operate and move forward as an independent democratic government. How does the U.S. engage diplomatically with Taiwan and how will future relations develop? How does Taiwan position itself in the midst of Chinese and U.S. economic competition? REGISTER
