On the eve of June 30, Hong Kong was officially passed back to China. This event will mark what Willem van Kemenade sees as the start of an increasingly problematic -- and even dangerous -- reintegration of the old Chinese empire into a new world superpower. Since the early 1980s, investment money has been pouring into China from Hong Kong and trade has escalated at a rocket's pace. A few years later, the same pattern began between China and Taiwan. The combination of Hong Kong/Taiwan management, financial and export know-how with China's inexhaustible pool of cheap labor and land has enabled China in one decade to leap from an impoverished revolutionary state to a major international trading power. This economic boom, in conjunction with the violation of intellectual property rights, systematic tax fraud, and the corruption of the police force, has helped shape the "socialist market economy," China's third way -- and a new mix of old-fashioned Soviet Communism and East Asian capitalism. The formal addition of Hong Kong will add to this mixture the democratic structures set in place by the British. And, as China moves to reclaim Taiwan (the process has already begun), it will be incorporating a rival Chinese sub-nation with a fully election-based political system and a powerful independence movement. Can such a reunified China resist the "spiritual pollution" of democratic values, human rights, and political freedom? Will it become the first depoliticized "corporatist superpower"? What are the prospects that reunification will be peaceful? Van Kemenade's portrait of the true internal power structures of the three Chinas provides our clearest look yet at the fastest-rising newempire in the world today.

The "one China" policy officially supported by the People's Republic of China, the United States, and other countries asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it. The debate over whether the people of Taiwan are Chinese or independently Taiwanese is, Melissa J. Brown argues, a matter of identity: Han ethnic identity, Chinese national identity, and the relationship of both of these to the new Taiwanese identity forged in the 1990s. In a unique comparison of ethnographic and historical case studies drawn from both Taiwan and China, Brown's book shows how identity is shaped by social experience--not culture and ancestry, as is commonly claimed in political rhetoric.

Chinese Taipei - Chinese Taipei () is the designated name that the Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as "Taiwan," uses to participate in most international organizations due to the insistence of the People's Republic of China (PRC) under its version of the One-China policy, that the ROC may not use the names Republic of China or Taiwan (see political status of Taiwan). In Chinese, it is Zhōnghuá Táibĕi (中華台北), although the PRC uses Zhōngguó Tá ...

Immigration arrangements for British passport holders from Hong Kong visiting the Republic of China (Taiwan) - Because the Republic of China (ROC) has never renounced its sovereignty over its territories on China mainland, and arguably under pressure of the People's Republic of China (PRC), it does not treat the People's Republic of China as a "foreign country". The ROC partially recognise the "Chinese-ness" of ethnic Chinese people of Hong Kong so it does not fully recognise their British National (Overseas) status.

Chinese reunification - Chinese (re)unification () is a goal of Chinese nationalism that refers to the reunification of all of "China" under a single political entity. As Hong Kong and Macau have been reunited with mainland China under the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China, the only outstanding issue under active debate is between the mainland and Taiwan (and the islands of the Pescadores, Quemoy, Matsu), which have continued to be administered by the Republic of China.

List of Chinese Taipei Representatives to APEC - The heads of government of all Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation members meet annually in a summit called "APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting" rotating in location among APEC's member economies. However, due to pressure from the People's Republic of China over the political status of Taiwan, the Republic of China (a member economy of APEC under the name Chinese Taipei) can neither send the president of the Republic of China nor the premier of the Republic of China to the summit and must send a ...
