Imagine a ravenous Chinese military amassing near Taiwan, the White House warning against an invasion. All it would take is one misunderstanding. Though the U.S. does not officially recognize Taiwan's government, it does remain its strongest backer, while China views the island as lost territory which it must take back. Some argue that the scale of China's military in the region has already surpassed anything the U.S. or Taiwan militaries could stop. Others say American credibility is on the line, and the U.S. could indeed defend Taiwan if pushed. So, in the context of these mounting tensions, here is our question. Is Taiwan indefensible? Now, to be clear, indefensible can cut several ways. -
Copyrighted Materials
FOREWORD Materials Pai Hsien-yung is among the most important writers in contemporary Chinese andCopyrighted world literature. With a career spanning more: than sixty years, Pai has created a lineup of masterpieces that chronicle the changing morals Pressand manners of modern Chinese people since the mid-twentieth century. Of these works, Taipei People no doubt enjoys the foremost status.University A collection of fourteen short stories, Taipei Peo- ple presents a gallery of Chinese mainland emigres to ChineseTaiwan after the 1949 national divide. Despite their The variegated backgrounds and experiences, these indi- viduals share one thing in common: they cannot let go of memories of their days on the mainland. As a result, the people in these stories turn their nostalgia into lived reality. Haunted by the past, the “Taipei people” take on a spectral dimension, and cast the city of Taipei as a phantasmal space. Insofar as Pai Hsien-yung and his family were xii | Taipei People among the exiles to Taiwan after 1949, Taipei People certainly bears the imprints of personal trauma. Pai’s illustrious family background lends a poignancy to his portraits of lives in diaspora and disgrace. Pai created most of the stories of Taipei People during the 1960s, when he had already relocated to the United States. Twice removed from his homeland, Pai wrote to inscribe not only a generation of Chinese trapped in historical contingencies but also a time that has been so skewed as to make any “master narrative” impossible. Taipei People is not to be confined only as national allegory, however — it also speaks to the modern human condition, writ large. -

I also thank the English Department of Royal Holloway, University of London, and the school administration, for their kind support for an overseas student from Taiwan. I also thank the Centre of Taiwan Studies at SOAS. Their seminars have been a significant stimulus and a valuable source of ideas.
