The explosive events in Tiananmen Square in 1989, the end of the Cold War, the fast-approaching reversion of Hong Kong to Chinese rule, and the transition to democracy in Taiwan have all raised many concerns about the future of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This volume considers likely outcomes and related policy issues by drawing together scholars and analysts from the three portions of greater China and the United States. Together, they analyze domestic, political, economic, and social developments, as well as relevant trends in the Asian and global international arenas.
