Abstract

Abstract The article attempts to examine the relationship between Taiwan, a de facto political entity, and the People’s Republic of China (Mainland China) since 1949, the landmark year when the then ruling party KMT (The Nationalist Party) was defeated by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) in the Mainland. Essentially, the narrative is focused on the government policies by the two respective political entities. The PRC pledged to unify Taiwan again and subsequently its unification policies are delineated. A two-stage schema is proposed for the analysis, albeit the second stage can be further divided into three phases. As for Taiwan, a five-stage categorization is proposed. Moreover, three sets of factors influencing the cross-Strait relations would be discussed, namely the power dynamics within the PRC, internal development inside Taiwan and the role of the USA. Finally, the implications of the coming of Trump era are outlined.

独立还是统一?中华人民共和国与台湾关系的演变

摘要本文试图考察台湾这个事实上的政治实体与1949年以来的中华人民共和国（中国大陆）之间的关系，1949年是当时执政党国民党（国民党）在大陆被中共击败的标志性年份。从本质上讲，叙事集中在两个政治实体的政府政策上。中华人民共和国承诺再次统一台湾，并随后阐述了其统一政策。虽然第二阶段可以进一步分为三个阶段，但提出了一个两阶段的分析模式。关于台湾，提出了五阶段分类。此外，还讨论了影响两岸关系的三个因素，即中华人民共和国内部的权力动态、台湾内部的发展和美国的作用。最后，概述了特朗普时代到来的影响。
