One China, Many Taiwans: The Geopolitics of Cross-Strait Tourism
Ian Rowen
One China, Many Taiwans shows how tourism performs and transforms territory. In 2008, as the People's Republic of China pointed over a thousand missiles across the Taiwan Strait, it sent millions of tourists in the same direction with the encouragement of Taiwan's politicians and businesspeople. Contrary to the PRC's efforts to use tourism to incorporate Taiwan into an imaginary One China, tourism aggravated tensions between the two polities, polarized Taiwanese society, and pushed Taiwanese popular sentiment farther towards support for national self-determination.
Taiwan was torn into the Taiwan performed as a part of China for Chinese group tourists, versus the Taiwan experienced as a place for everyday life. Taiwan's national identity grew increasingly plural, such that not just one or two, but many Taiwans co-existed, even as it faced an existential military threat. Ian Rowen's treatment of tourism as a political technology provides a new lens for social scientists and area specialists to examine the impacts of Chinese tourism, which is increasing in importance not only in the region but worldwide.
