      "title": "Taiwan: Findings of a Congressional Staff Research Trip, December 2000",
      "summary": "This report summarizes findings from a congressional staff trip to Taiwan (Republic of China),\nDecember 10-17, 2000, with supplemental material from other sources. The staff delegation met\nwith Taiwan government and military officials, political party representatives, leading private\ncitizens, and United States officials and business persons in Taipei, the capital. The findings include\nmajor factors that have shaped relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China (PRC)\nsince Chen Shui-bian's election as President of Taiwan in March 2000. Taiwan's democratization\nand the growth of cross-strait economic ties have, in some respects, helped to stabilize relations in\nthe short run. Taiwan's legislative elections in December 2001 will likely focus largely on domestic\nissues; its impact on cross-strait relations is uncertain. Chinese nationalism and military\nmodernization in the PRC will likely continue to contribute to tensions. This report will not be\nupdated.",
