| Abstract | Taiwan's President Lee Teng-hui's "private" visit to the United States last year pushed the Chinese leadership, normally cautious from the uncertainties of political and economic transition, into adopting a bully's pose by threathening to attack Taiwan. Now he has manipulated another giant, the U.S. itself, into taking a step toward defending the island should China actually do so. Indeed, the man many dismissed as a political neophyte when he succeeded to the presidency on the death of Chiang Ching-kuo in 1988 is turning out to be a grand master. |
