N2  - Assesses the intractable differences between Beijing and Tapei,the rise of an opposition party advocating Taiwan independence, and Beijing's threat to use military force. At the same time, the author weighs the moderating influence of investment and trade across the Taiwan Strait and the re-opening of cross-strait dialogue. Argues that the United States can best minimise the risk of conflict with a policy of ambiguity that retains the flexibility to intervene militarily or not as circumstances dictate
