Cross-Strait Relations

Lead by Faculty Director Jerome A. Cohen and Affiliated Scholar Yu-Jie Chen, the Cross-Strait relations project began in July 2015 in an effort to improve relations and offer insight ande commentary on the relationship between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China. Of their research focus is the contention over the “92 Consensus“ and Beijing’s unilateral decision to suspend major aspects of the cross-strait agreements that it concluded with Taipei from 2009 to 2015.  We believe this research should prove helpful for a more precise scholarly and popular understanding and assessment of China’s and Taiwan’s positions.
