“…Nevertheless, the speed and unchecked nature of Ma's cross-Strait détente, owing to the KMT's supermajority in the legislature, appear to have concerned the median voter. According to three decades of reliable longitudinal opinion surveys, this hypothetical voter emphatically supports maintenance of the status quo (Rigger, 2001;Wang and Liu, 2004;Wang et al, 2011). Compounding the perception that things were moving too fast, Ma introduced his peace accord proposal at the outset of the campaign, only to remove it hastily from sight when rebutted by public opinion.…”

“…Sovereignty is the most crucial topic in the reunification process (Bush, 2005). For that reason, while Taiwan cannot participate in regional economic integration entirely, its participation in international organizations is limited (Wang et al ., 2011). In order to resolve these problems, Taiwan needs to negotiate with the CPC (Wenger and Chen, 2017).…”

It is both academically and practically valuable to construct a multi-dimensional scale to assess the effectiveness of the Communist Party of China's (CPC) policy toward Taiwan. The author constructed a One China identity scale based on national identity theory and the CPC's political advocacy and actions toward Taiwan. Using panel data from 271 members of Taiwanese student delegations to Mainland China from 2016 to 2017, this study explored the changes in their sense of a One China identity. The results showed a significant increase (0.11, 5.19%) in the average ratings of the investigated students' One China identity. The regression equation constructed by the current study was able to explain 10.94% of the total variance of the One China identity scale, and all three hypotheses were supported. Following the exchange program, Taiwanese students appeared to have a greater sense of a One China identity. Their impression of Mainland China had improved, their acceptance of the CPC's regime had increased, and their preference for authoritarianism had increased.

“…For its part, the Beijing government has come to the realization that its coercive tactics during Taiwan's 1996 and 2000 presidential elections only invited resentment and alienated the island citizens (see Garver 1997;Wang 2001). Chinese leaders have since placed substantial emphasis on the tactic of economic integration (Tung 2005;Wang, Lee, and Yu 2011). A series of agreements was signed between the two governments, including a landmark trade deal that granted generous economic concessions to Taiwan.…”

Taiwan Citizens' Views of China: What Are the Effects of Cross-Strait Contacts?

Segregation has long been recognized as a source of ignorance which breeds negative feelings and hostility. This view maintains that interactions between members of different groups can foster social bonds and promote positive group relationship. Employing recently collected survey data, this study examines the effect of cross-Strait contacts on Taiwan citizens’ negative views toward Chinese citizens and the Beijing government. The empirical results show that casual encounters have no effect on the island residents’ general perception of China. Serious interactions in the form of friendship moderate their unfavorable feelings of Chinese citizens but have no effects on the perception of a hostile Beijing. Unless contacts can invoke true social bonds, frequent interactions do not have transformative effects on individuals’ political views. The moderating effect of contacts at the personal level is not transferable to a political entity when the latter is perceived as a suppressing agent.
