I. INTRIODUCTION
Cross-Taiwan Strait relations are by now a very popular field of study in our society as
well as in other societies around the world. The subject not only exercises impact upon
Taiwan’s future-for better or for worse, it also touches upon the core of our value systems. It is
therefore highly controversial.
Since this course is designed as an introduction, we hope to eschew the ideological
controversies now plaguing the Taiwanese society. We will, instead, trace the origins of China’s
division from various perspectives and to conduct our analyses of the field based on historical
approach. It is hoped that this approach can help lay a solid foundation for those who are
interested in further exploration of the issue in the future.
