The Rise of China and Taiwan's Response:
Implications for the United States
Featuring
Dr. Ger Yeong-kuang
Professor, National Taiwan University and Member, Control Yuan
The importance of the rise of the People's Republic of China is obvious to all, whether from a political, economic or security perspective. What is less obvious to Americans is not only how that crucial phenomenon is viewed in Taiwan but how Taiwan is responding to it. Dr. Ger Yeong-kuang, a noted scholar at the National Taiwan University and Member of the Control Yuan, will address that question as well as the implications for the United States.
Dr. Ger Yeong-kuang received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin and has had a distinguished career as a political scientist and member of various boards and review committees dealing with Asian matters, including specifically Mainland affairs. He has held important positions in various branches of the government in Taipei as well as having been a member of the KMT central committee for 15 years. He also has been a central figure in the World League for Freedom and Democracy over the past twenty years. Dr. Ger has written widely on subjects ranging from politics in Taiwan to matters of security, ideology and democratic development. As a Member of the Control Yuan, he has been deeply involved in cross-Strait issues as well as such topics as how to promote Taiwan's security stakes and claims in the South China Sea.
