AbstractWith hardly a break between China and Taiwan, Peking carried out two series of missile tests (21-28 July 1995; 15-25 August 1995). Has the Chinese leadership had second thoughts about the "softly softly" approach to reunification it has favoured so far, destroying in the few weeks not only the precious gains so laboriously acquired in negotiations four years ago, but those of the entire unification policy initiated by Deng Xiaoping in 1979? What are China's new objectives? And are they attainable?
