From the Paper:

"China-the most populous country in the world-has exhibited remarkably high levels of sustained economic growth in the two decades since it reformed its economy following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. According to some analysts, the country is poised to become the number one economy in the world sometime in the mid-twenty first century. There are, however, certain political issues that could prove to be the proverbial 'fly in the ointment' in the path of China's rightful role in the future world affairs. One of them is the 'Taiwan affair'-a problem that has defied a satisfactory resolution ever since the Communist forces defeated the Kuomintang in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and Chiang Kai-Shek retreated to Taiwan along with 2 million of his supporters from the Mainland China. The political status of Taiwan (or the state of Republic of China) has, since that time, been a source of concern for China as well as the rest of the world."
