• W1539843978 abstract "Why Taiwan? Geostrategic Rationales for China's Territorial Integrity, by Alan M. Wachman. Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 2007. xviii + 253 pp. US$65.00 (hardcover), US$24.95 (paperback). Alan Wachman has written an important and stimulating book. He asks why is such an important question to China's leaders today. In Wachman's own words, Taiwan is not so much the subject of this work as an object of consideration, where China is the subject and its attitude toward the principal theme (p. 179, n. 7). book splits into two very separate parts. First, Wachman considers the historical case for being a part of China. Having trawled through much of the same historical material, I congratulate Professor Wachman especially for his thorough research. Wachman concludes that historically was not part of China. In addition, in two detailed chapters looking at statements of both Kuomintang and Chinese Communist leaders, Wachman concludes that leaders of both parties in numerous statements over the years did not consider a part of China until around 1942. Wachman's historical case would be even stronger if he did not make a few historical errors. Most importantly, he argues: The term China, here, is shorthand for the polities ruled by the Ming, the Qing, and the Republican governments (p. 173, n. 88, original emphasis). Yet, as Wachman notes in his text, China was a colony of the Manchu Qing Empire. This is an important point. Furthermore, even within this colonial structure, the Qing differentiated between China and Taiwan. So, during the Qing, belonged (at least in part) to the Qing, but not to China which itself was a colony of the Qing. failure to make the distinction between the Qing and China leads to sloppy thinking such as Surely, China had been forcibly deprived of the island after 1894-95 (p. 78). When the Dutch arrived in in 1624 to begin their colonial rule, the number of Chinese living temporarily on was very few and no permanent Chinese community existed on the island. James W. Davidson's important book, Island of Formosa (1903), which Wachman cites (pp. 181-82, n. 45), does state that 25,000 Chinese lived on the island, but Davidson provides no sources for this statement. Both John Wills (The Seventeenth-Century Transformation, in Taiwan: A New History, edited by Murray A. Rubenstein [Armonk: M. E. Sharpe, 1999], p. 87) and Macabe Keliher (Out of China, p. 96), in works that Wachman also cites, suggest that the Dutch found 1000-1500 Chinese on when they arrived. When Zheng Chenggong arrived in in 1662, the last Ming pretender had already died. …" @default.
