This book problematises China's current policies towards Tibet and
Taiwan and offers a fresh democratic approach. When it comes to
talking about democracy in China, Chinese nationalists argue that
it cannot solve China's problems, while Chinese liberals remain
unduly silenced. But China is facing a national identity crisis,
compounded by Tibet and Taiwan, where significant proportions of
both populations do not identify with the Chinese nation state.
Could democracy realistically address the problems in China's
national identity? Baogang He opens up a dialogue in which Chinese
liberals can offer viable alternatives in defence of key democratic
principles and governance. He upholds the search for a political
space in which democratic governance in China can feasibly be
developed. It problematises existing hard liners' realist policies
towards Tibet and Taiwan by examining how democracy can or cannot
provide an answer. It examines the different meanings, practices,
institutions and various impacts of democracy with regards to the
problem of China's national identity. It presents the difficulties
and obstacles to the democratic approach to the respective Tibet
and Taiwan questions.
