description  The status of Taiwan is the most crucial security issue in the Asia Pacific region. This article aims to analyze the political and economic relations between the United States, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China (PRC) between 2008-2018 (the pivotal period in the re-establishment of relations across the Strait of Taiwan), and how these relations have changed with the new DPP government in Taipei. The main conclusion is that for PRC the reunification with Taiwan represents a vital point of its geopolitical projection, and a symbolic act of the rejuvenation of the nation. Nevertheless, it affects the relations with the United States on many different levels. However, the use of political and economic instruments to achieve that goal is viewed with great suspicion in both Taipei and Washington.

This article aims to analyze the political and economic relations between the United States, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China (PRC) between 2008-2018 (the pivotal period in the re-establishment of relations across the Strait of Taiwan), and how these relations have changed with the new DPP government in Taipei. The main conclusion is that for PRC the reunification with Taiwan represents a vital point of its geopolitical projection, and a symbolic act of the rejuvenation of the nation. Nevertheless, it affects the relations with the United States on many different levels. However, the use of political and economic instruments to achieve that goal is viewed with great suspicion in both Taipei and Washington.    La condición de la República de China (ROC)-Taiwán es el asunto clave de la seguridad en la región Asia-Pacífico. Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar las relaciones políticas y económicas entre Estados Unidos, Taiwán y la República Popular de China (RPC) entre 2008 y 2018 (el período crucial para el reestablecimiento de las relaciones a través del estrecho de Taiwán), y cómo estas se han modificado con los cambios políticos en Taipéi, representados por el nuevo gobierno del Partido Progresista Democrático. Las relaciones entre estas tres entidades se revisan desde el punto de vista del realismo ofensivo. La principal conclusión es que, para la República Popular de China, la reunificación con Taiwán representa un punto esencial de su proyección geopolítica y un acto simbólico del rejuvenecimiento de la nación. Ello afecta además las relaciones a escala global con Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, el uso de los instrumentos políticos y económicos para lograr ese objetivo es visto con mucha sospecha tanto en Taipéi como en Washington.           FLACSO - Sede Ecuador 2021-05-03 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/zip https://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/urvio/article/view/4780 10.17141/urvio.30.2021.4780 URVIO.
