Personal statement

Cross-strait relation has long been a core topic of global affairs studies in

mainland China. My interests in this issue stems from the frequent engagements with Taiwanese merchants, who made a great contribution to the prosperity of my hometown city of Dongguan, when I was still a boy. I was deeply attracted by the unique social conditions and beautiful scenery of the island. Ever since high school I had been paying close attention to Taiwan’s development as well as her relation with mainland China; however I had never been to Taiwan due to obvious reasons. Now, the opportunity of exchange study at NCCU would not only satisfy my curiosity but also bring me a deeper understanding of cross-strait issues, an expansion of perspective and knowledge as well as a boost of my future career.

While a dramatic shift occurred from confrontation to cooperation in the year 2008, the prospect of cross-strait relation hangs on the perceptions of both

regions; mutual understanding and possible consensus must be built to maintain a positive and developing relation. Although I am greatly concerned about the issue, the merit of my analysis is severely limited due to the lack of knowledge and observation of a different perspective---from ‘the other side of the strait’. Therefore I feel a strong incentive to have direct contact and rational discussions with Taiwan scholars and students in order to gain an objective understanding of the ideas of Taiwanese citizens and politicians. In the mean time I could also do my best to convey opinions and judgments on mainland’s policies to my Taiwan counterparts. The NCCU as the center of social science studies in Taiwan has long been famous for its insightful study of Taiwan’s political, economic and social conditions. I firmly believe that an education at NCCU would pump fresh concepts and ideas which would be useful not only in my study of cross-strait problem but also on other international affairs.

Moreover, the possibility of reunification can be affected by the differences between the two regions of development levels, social cultures, mutual

perceptions and governance models as well as other external factors such as the foreign policy of USA and Japan. A multidisciplinary approach must be adopted involving the study of political development, geographical economics,

international laws, cultural studies and East Asian strategic conditions. Unfortunately many relevant courses are lacking in my current university; without adequate input I find it difficult to accurately predict the trends and impact of cross-strait circumstance. Meanwhile, the Department of Diplomacy at NCCU features distinguished faculty members and far more diversified

curriculums which could help solve many of my puzzles. The startling variety of
