Abstract
The Taiwan–China competition in the grey zone area of the South China Sea is an extension of the confrontation between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the Taiwan Strait. Diplomatic isolation, geographic constraint and inadequacy in deterrent credibility represent the major challenges for Taiwan against China’s expansionism in the region. This article examines Taiwan’s evolving positions in the South China Sea and explores Taiwan’s strategy of a point-line-surface defence framework to counter Beijing’s threats of grey zone activities.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
