Taiwan: China's Last Frontier

"Taiwan: China's Last Frontier" is an in-depth analysis of Taiwan's complex political and economic situation within the context of Chinese history. Written by Simon Long, the book sheds light on the tensions between Taiwan and mainland China that have existed since 1949. It examines how Beijing's political claims over Taiwan influence the relations between the two sides and what economic successes Taiwan has achieved in recent decades. Long provides a comprehensive overview of the historical background that has led to the current situation and analyzes the challenges Taiwan faces as it maintains its identity and independence. This scholarly work is aimed at readers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the geopolitical dynamics in East Asia and Taiwan's role within this context.
