3. Taiwan’s Developmental Experience for the Chinese Mainland: The Perspective of Chinese Intellectuals

Ibid., 243–4. It is worthy to note the nuance between the two co-editors: While Bruce Gilley compares economic development trajectory in Taiwan from 1951 to 1986 with that same trajectory in the Mainland from 1977 to 2012, Larry Diamond compares political development in Taiwan from 1971 to 1996 with the unknowable developmental trajectory in the mainland from 1977 to 2022, factoring in a generational lag of about twenty years, as well as the different world historical situations. Bruce Gilley is consistently optimistic about democratic future in the Mainland, whereas Larry’s conclusion is that “China’s transition to democracy will take longer, be driven by somewhat different logics, and be more fraught with internal and, potentially, international peril than was Taiwan’s.”
