The Rise of Taiwanese and Hong Kong Identities and Their Implications for Beijing and Washington
Three trends are shaping today’s Taiwan and Hong Kong: they are enmeshed in a high-income trap with slower growth, increasing inequality, and rising dissatisfaction among youth; the rise of China’s economic and military power, along with continued pressure for deeper economic and political integration; and the emergence of a distinctive local identity, resulting in a declining interest in political and social integration with China. Shirley Lin who teaches in the U.S., Taiwan, Hong Kong and China will analyze all of these trends, and then address the dilemmas they pose for Beijing and Washington.
