Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the changing nature of China�s policy toward Taiwan. Many of the sharpest debates in Taiwan, the US and elsewhere have been over whether recent modifications in policy represent a genuine overhaul in Beijing�s approach to Taipei. To simplify, some argue that meaningful change already is happening and that such developments warrant careful study and attention. But skeptics conclude that it isn�t happening. As one Taiwanese lawmaker complained, the new strategy is designed to �undermine the power of the [Taiwan] government�it�s a poison coated with sugar.� After analyzing various indicators, this study shows how theories and/or conceptual frameworks often employed in the fields of international relations and comparative politics might help analysts unravel some parts of the complicated puzzle that constitutes China�s policy toward Taiwan. In conclusion, however, the author suggests that it is probable that decision-makers in Taipei will require more facts�not theories�before they agree that there is a genuine �paradigm shift� in Beijing�s approach to the thorny Taiwan dispute.
