"Un pays, deux systèmes", Hsing Chi (2003) - les enjeux stratégiques de la politique taïwanaise

Résumé du document

This book comes in the words of the author, the desire to better understand the people of Taiwan and others the concept of "One country, Two systems", concept that has been discredited and undermined by the DPP and Chen Shui-Bian. The starting point of this work is a political and civic will. It is a book that was written by default.

On the one hand to respond to a vacuum. The subject is not treated and then to correct a vision often oriented. "One country, Two systems" in Taiwan by Hsing Chi occupies a special place in Taiwanese literature. It is a book that is fundamentally opposed to the dominant ideology in 2003. A critique of simplistic and poor. A pad in the pool for years of Lee Teng-Hui and Chen Shui-Bian. And do not compromise on the issue of reunification.

This translation is also the will of Chi and Sheng-Wei to provide readers in western countries the key to understanding the politico-military-strategic struggles which are played in Taiwan. The lucidity of the authors and richness of the book reflects a strong knowledge of the case and a fierce desire to share it. It is a work fundamentally optimistic even though the period and the dark re-election of Chen Shui-Bian in 2004, shows the difficulty of the task and the complexity of the Taiwanese political game. However the arrival of the KMT and the election of Ma Ying-Jeou in March 2008 give reason to the author.
