Shelley Rigger Knihy

This book explores the key role Taiwan has played in facilitating China's economic "miracle." Rigger argues that without Taiwanese investment, the PRC would be decades behind its current position in the global economy. She also looks toward the future and asks whether Taiwanese can maintain their status as leaders in China's economic development.

Focusing on Taiwan's pivotal influence, the book examines how Taiwanese investment has significantly contributed to China's rapid economic growth, suggesting that the PRC would be far less advanced without it. The author also contemplates Taiwan's future role and its ability to sustain its leadership in the ongoing development of China’s economy, raising critical questions about the island's position in a changing geopolitical landscape.
