Partindo de uma descrição do endurecimento da posição de Pequim relativamente ao independentismo na ilha, considera, depois, a deterioração das relações entre as autoridades comunistas e taiwanesas no seguimento da vitória eleitoral, em 2016, de Tsai Ing-wen. Neste quadro de crescente confronto, avalia-se, por último, a política chinesa da Administração Biden e o seu impacto na estabilidade regional.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The article sketches the main questions relative to Taiwan&#8217;s &#8216;reunification&#8217; with the People&#8217;s Republic of China. Beginning with a description of Beijing&#8217;s increasingly assertive stance regarding the island&#8217;s independence, it then traces the deterioration of relations between Taiwanese and mainland authorities in the aftermath of Tsai Ing-wen&#8217;s 2016 electoral victory. Finally, in this context of growing confrontation, the article considers the Biden administration&#8217;s China policy and its impact on regional stability.]]></p></abstract>
