Ep 20: The CPC's Taiwan Strategy - From Revolution to Pragmatism
How has the Communist Party of China’s approach to the Taiwan question evolved over time? In this episode, we trace the historical arc of the CPC’s Taiwan strategy—from its revolutionary roots to the pragmatic framework that defines cross-strait relations today. We break down key turning points from 1949 to the present to understand how and why the CPC’s approach to the Taiwan question has evolved—from an early emphasis on military liberation, to a pragmatic shift toward peaceful reunification, to the quasi-normalization of cross-strait engagement beginning in the late 1980s, and finally to the firm red lines outlined in the 2005 Anti-Secession Law.
This is essential listening for anyone who wants to cut through the noise and understand the deeper context behind Beijing’s current posture toward Taipei.
