Since Taiwan and the PRC
embarked upon their current path of rapprochement in 2008, not only have they
signed an economic cooperation framework agreement, but the Mainland has also
sent numerous purchasing missions and millions of tourists to Taiwan. Hence,
for Taiwan the Mainland is both an adversary and a source of economic benefit. At a roundtable discussion hosted by Stimson, Professor Ho used empirical data to talk about how Beijing using its
enormous power to induce, deter, or possibly coerce Taiwan. His findings
contributed not only to understanding the dynamic of cross-Strait relations but
also to a larger literature on economic statecraft and security in the field of
international political economy.

 

Dr. Ho Szu-yin received his PhD from the University of California, Santa
