Taiwan: The Other China Author: Thomas Metzger (Senior Fellow, Stanford University) Format: Audio Download Audio Length: 50 min. Rating: Price: $6.95       Publisher's Summary: What makes Taiwan so different from the People's Republic of China? Dr. Metzger describes 2 "great breakthroughs" in Taiwan's recent history, the first characterized by Taiwan's tremendous economic progress and the latter by a political evolution towards personal freedom, pluralism, and responsible government that has taken place since the mid-1980s. The seeds for these changes, Dr. Metzger argues, were powerful reformist impulses in the Confucian tradition - impulses which have found more creative and progressive outlet in Taiwan than in the state ruled by Beijing.
