Why is it important?
As an emerging first-tier world power, China is exerting an important influence on countries in the Asia-Pacific region, especially Taiwan, with which it has a long history of often contentious relations.
Perspectives
Based on a representative survey of Taiwanese citizens, the study finds that cohort impressions can be classified according to the extent to which they relate to the economic-political dimension and the social-environmental dimension, suggesting that Taiwanese perceptions of China are not unidimensional and are more nuanced than they first appear.
