Aging society and intergenerational conflicts over spending priorities are major challenges. China's long-term threat to incorporate Taiwan on terms similar to Hong Kong exacerbates these issues. Taiwan relies on the United States for security, but must use its own resources to cope with Beijing's intimidation and pressure. How Taiwan responds to these challenges and what the United States and other outside powers do to help will determine its ability to stand its ground against China's ambitions. The book explores the broad range of issues and policy choices Taiwan confronts and offers suggestions for both Taiwan and the United States to improve Taiwan's chances of success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 642g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 229 x 30 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780815738336                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard C.
