A conversation with President Ma Ying-jeou of Taiwan (2008-2016).
In 2015, Ma Ying-jeou and Chinese President Xi Jinping became the first presidents of Taiwan and China to meet publicly. Since then, relations between mainland China and Taiwan have not markedly improved. However, Taiwan’s economic, diplomatic, and security relationships with its sister democracies in East Asia—Japan and South Korea—remain strong. While President Trump has signaled clear support for maintaining U.S.-Taiwan relations, Panama was the most recent country to follow the trend of cutting ties with Taiwan in favor of establishing official diplomatic relations with China. Today, only 20 countries officially recognize Taiwan as the Republic of China.
What is the state of relations between China and Taiwan? How can Taiwan overcome its economic malaise? Where are U.S.-Taiwan relations heading under the Trump administration?
