This paper tentatively assesses a number of costly signals that Beijing or Taipei might make to elicit trust from the other side. Given that China`s political system has an intrinsic credibility problem, Beijing will have to bear more costs than Taipei if its reassurances are to be credible. However, China`s superior power gives it more leverage in promoting a cross-Strait trust-building process. Although such a trust-building approach would entail certain costs and risks for both Beijing and Taipei, it is a worthwhile enterprise for the sake of peace and reconciliation across the Taiwan Strait. | 關聯: | Issues & Studies, 48(3), 105-145 | 資料類型: | article |
