This newest China Briefing provides a retrospective analysis of important events in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in the mid-1990s and a prospective look at some of the issues that will shape these areas as they each move toward decisive turning points in their distinct yet intertwined histories. The volume includes chapters on politics, economics, U.S.-China relations, Taiwan, Hong Kong, gender, and popular culture and concludes with a detailed chronology covering the period from mid-1994 through mid-1996.
