Biography

Duanyi Yi is a postgraduate research student at Glasgow University, UK.
'China’s strategic ambitions regarding Taiwan are pursued with a strategic culture that is revisionist and offensive, obsessed with unification, and has an outstanding capacity for patience. I urge all practitioners to read this excellent analysis by two leading China experts, and to heed its predictions!'
Beatrice Heuser, Distinguished Professor, CSDS, Brussels School of Governance, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
'Using a strategic culture lens, Neil Munro and Duanyi Yi shine new light on the tripwires surrounding PRC, US, and Taiwanese action that may tip their colliding agendas into a century-defining conflict. Imperative reading for scholars and policymakers alike.'
Jeannie Johnson, Director of the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence, Utah State University, USA
