A Question of Balance: Political Context and Military Aspects of the China-Taiwan Dispute

by David A. Shlapak, David T. Orletsky, Murray Scot Tanner, et al.

The relationship between China and Taiwan is more stable in 2009 than it has been years; at the same time, the cross-strait military balance is shifting in ways that are problematic for Taiwan1s defense. This volume examines the changing China-Taiwan political dynamic, evaluates key aspects of the cross-strait military balance, and considers how Taiwan might be successfully defended against a Chinese invasion attempt.
