A Living Solution to the China–Taiwan Question is the first white paper of the Awakened Leadership Compass Brief Series (Version 1.0). It offers a practical, dignity centered roadmap to transform the China–Taiwan dispute from a permanent flashpoint into a living process of restraint, cooperation and consent based reconciliation, grounded in the Awakened Leadership model, philosophy and frameworks.
You will discover how to:
- Trace the historical evolution of the China–Taiwan question and understand the core narratives of China, Taiwan, the United States and allies, the UN system and regional stakeholders
- Read the current legal and institutional landscape, from Cairo and Potsdam to Resolution 2758, the Taiwan Relations Act and cross-strait agreements, and see why the dispute remains a “legal anomaly”
- Use the Awakened Tension Map and Bridge Analysis to map identity and responsibility across all actors and build bridges between civilization and nations, governance and societies, institutions and organizations, and human and machine intelligence
- Apply the Four Pillars and 4+1 Rhythm of Awakened Leadership to move from confrontation to transformation in cross-strait governance
- Follow a three phase strategy:
- Phase 1: Immediate risk reduction and stability through hotlines, rules of behavior, cyber crisis cells, Strait Infrastructure Safety Mechanism (SISM), Continuity of Chips Compact, and transparency bulletins
- Phase 2: Institutional trust building and functional integration through the Dual Political Reality Declaration (DPRD), Strait Safety and Rights Panel (SSRP), and Mutual Interdependence Zones (MIZs) in semiconductors, public health, ecological resilience and maritime safety
- Phase 3: Civic reconciliation and a consent based horizon through cultural exchanges, citizens’ assemblies, civic tech, and conditions for any future referendum only with mutual consent and robust safeguards
- Anchor the process with cross cutting guardrails, verification and public reporting, an Annual Peace Dividend Ladder, and detailed policy and action levers for China, Taiwan, the UN, the United States and allies
- Resource the framework through joint funds and mechanisms that treat semiconductors, ecology, public health and infrastructure as shared survival systems rather than zero sum assets, and track progress through clear KPIs and a long term implementation roadmap
This white paper stands as both a policy architecture and a moral invitation: a way for China, Taiwan and the world to preserve dignity, halt coercion and let the future be chosen by consent rather than war.
