  • Recently, China-Taiwan relations are facing a crisis, and at the same time, the U.S.-China relationship and the structure of Northeast Asia are greatly shaken, so we should pay attention to changes in cross-strait relations. This study aims to predict how cross-strait relations will change after the party convention by analyzing Xi Jinping's Taiwan policy, focusing on the "Political Report" of the 20th party convention and the content analysis of leadership personnel. The results of the study are as follows. First, as the amendment to the party constitution announced after the closing of the party convention stipulates the possibility of armed invasion, Xi Jinping will implement a tough Taiwan policy emphasizing unification. Second, strategic competition with the United States will continue to intensify in the future when analyzing the contents of Chapters 2, 11, 13, and 14 of the "Political Reporting" and the personnel management of diplomatic and security leadership. As a result, cross-strait relations are expected to show instability for a considerable period of time. Third, at a time when Taiwan rejects the unification plan of "one country, two systems" and the tendency to de-Chineseize is strengthening, there is a possibility that legislation or specific enforcement ordinances will be enacted to strengthen the existing "Anti-Secession Law." Fourth, it is expected that strong and warm two-sided strategies will be used together, such as taking a strong response to external forces interfering with the Taiwan issue and Taiwan independence forces, and using incentives for the Kuomintang(KMT) and Taiwanese who are friendly to unification.

  • The Hong Kong issue covered in the study refers to the problems caused by the various measures and policies taken by the Chinese government since Hong Kong's return to China on July 1, 1997, and the resistance and resistance shown by the Hong Kong people. Since Hong Kong's return The Chinese government carried out a policy of strengthening direct control over Hong Kong, and on June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China passed the Hong Kong National Security Act. This study will focus on the impact of the Hong Kong issue on Cross-Strait Relations. Through this, we will take a look at the application of the "one-country, two-system" policy, Taiwan and China's Unification Issues and the democratization of Hong Kong. This study predicts that after the passage of the "Hong kong National security law," the principle of "one-country, two-system" that China tried to apply to unification with Taiwan will be put into a big test, and that Cross-Strait Relations and U.S.-China relations will deteriorate. Tension will quickly arise around Northeast Asia in the future, and we should also analyze and prepare for it in various ways.

  • Through an empirical comparative analysis, we found that people in mainland China and Taiwan demonstrate strong similarities in their support for democracy, based on democratic suitability, efficiency, preference, and priority. There are also differences in beliefs about democratic values. Compared to people in mainland China, the Taiwanese have a deeper and more widely shared belief in the principles of participation and pluralism, while the differences between their beliefs in the principles of equality, freedom, and checks and balances are narrow. Furthermore, people in mainland China and Taiwan have a strong similarity in their understanding of democracy, that is, they all present a mixed democratic understanding based on substantive bias. Overall, although the differences between mainland China and Taiwan's democratic practices are reflected in the level of value identification from the perspective of democratic support and democratic understanding, the popular democratic political culture in mainland China and Taiwan still has a relatively broad consensus. Thus, the integration and development of cross-strait relations not only has an increasingly profound social and economic foundation but also considerable consensus and mass support on the political and cultural level.
