Fei-Ling Wang, professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was quoted in the South China Morning Post about who in the Chinese Communist Party might take over the Taiwan Affairs Office.
An excerpt:
“Whoever is in charge of the Taiwan Affairs Office, probably, will have a very limited impact on how the policy is made,” said Fei-Ling Wang, an international affairs professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “Because, after all, this person usually is many people away from the top leader. He basically carries out orders.”
