The Foundation’s mission is to promote the study of Chinese culture and society, as well as enhance international scholarly exchange. Its principal work is to award grants and fellowships to institutions and individuals conducting Sinological and Taiwan-related research, thereby adding new life to Chinese cultural traditions while also assuming responsibility for the further development of human civilization.

Our central headquarters is located in Taipei, Taiwan, with a regional office near Washington D.C. in McLean, Virginia.

Though Chinese influence is not a ne\V factor in the international geo­ political syste1n, the synergy between China's growing purchasing po\ver and its political \vill is dra\ving increasing attention on the world stage. With China's e111ergence as a global econontic powerhouse and the Chinese state's extraction of massive revenues and tremendous foreign reserves, Beijing has learned to flex these financial 1nuscles globally in order to achieve its polit­ ical goals. Essentially, the rise of China has enabled the PRC to speed up its n1ilitary moderniza­ tion and adroitly co1nbine econonllc measures and 'united front \Vork' in pursuit of its national interests. Hence Taiwan, whose sovereignty continues to be contested by the PRC, has been heavily i1npacted by China's new strategy. The Chinese ca1npaign kno\vn as 'using business to steer politics' has arguably been success­ ful in achieving inany of the effects desired by Beijing. For exan1ple, the Chinese government has repeatedly leveraged Taiwan's trade and econonllc dependence to intervene in Taiwan's elections. Such econonllc dependence n1ay constrain Taiwanese choices within a structure of Beijing's creation.

  • “The Cost of Political Tension: an Anatomy”
    TSE‐484 April 2014 “The Cost of Political Tension: An Anatomy” Yinghua He, Ulf Nielsson and Yonglei Wang The Cost of Political Tension: An Anatomy Yinghua Hea Ulf Nielssonb Yonglei Wanga April 2014 Abstract The paper examines how increased political tension affects stock returns and identifies the channels through which this occurs. Focusing on Taiwan’s sovereign debate, we find that non-violent events harming the political relationship with mainland China are associated with an average daily drop of 200 basis points in Taiwanese stock returns. Expectations of mild tension also adversely affect stock returns. The impact is stronger on firms located close to potential conflict zones and on Taiwanese firms openly supporting the pro-independence party. The adverse effect on political opponents concentrates on those firms economically exposed to mainland China through either investments or exports. JEL classification: F51, G14, G15 Keywords: political tension, political connections, China, Taiwan Acknowledgements: We are grateful for valuable comments from Augustin Landier, Harminder Singh, Shang-Jin Wei, Qing Xia and participants at seminars at Toulouse School of Economics, University of Iceland, the 21th SFM conference in Taiwan, 2013 World Finance & Banking symposium in Beijing and 2013 Econometric Society China Meeting. a Toulouse School of Economics, E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]. b Copenhagen Business School, Department of Finance.
