“However, during the late 1980s, throughout the 1990s, and into the new century, leaders on Taiwan became progressively more responsive to the island’s voters; Taiwan’s economic and other achievements created a sense among its people that they were entitled to greater dignity and status in the international system; and as a multiparty political system developed, a new, more independent-minded identity took hold of the island’s people.”
- David M. Lampton, Same Bed, Different Dreams: Managing U.S. – China Relations, 1989 – 2000, p. 4.
