CHINA: "My experience in China and Taiwan"

Piers Fuller, who spent a year on cultural exchange in China and seven years teaching in Taiwan, offers firsthand assessment of the geopolitical situation across the Taiwan Strait. He explores whether the current military balance and uncertain American commitment can lead to peaceful resolution, and examines China's rapid rise as an economic and military power and its implications for New Zealand.

Fuller has worked as a journalist in Wairarapa for 24 years and is now editor of the Wairarapa Times-Age. His direct experience living among Taiwan's people informs his analysis of their determination and resilience in the face of Chinese military superiority.
