Taiwan feels China's ire rising as election nears
Article Abstract:
Observers expect Chinese officials to step up the violent rhetoric and threats of war as the date of Taiwan's first-ever presidential election approaches. This escalation in verbal hostility is China's way of curbing the nationalist aspirations of Taiwan, which it considers as a renegade province. Chinese government officials are especially wary of Taiwan Pres. Lee Teng-hui, who has defiantly ignored threats of invasion in his bid to win greater international recognition for the island.

Despite cross-strait tensions, Taiwan investors maintain and boost economic ties with China
Article Abstract:
The rising tension between China and Taiwan has not prevented Taiwanese investors from conducting business in China. An example is Taiwanese businessman Chiao Yu-chi, who recently sank $20 million in investments in Chinese businesses. Chiao's action affirms that recent events between China and Taiwan have not affected their economic ties. This had led many critics to believe that at the heart of the dispute is the greater quest for political power than economic power.
