    The possibility of the military clash between the Mainland and Taiwan
has become one of the major issues in the Asain affair and the world peace.
The U.S. Department of Defense held a secret colloquium in Washington DC
last June in which military experts on Chinese Armies from many countries 
expressed their great concerns on this issue. As a result, the Center for 
Studies of Chinese Political and Economical Affairs (CSCPEA), 
a non-governmental institution, will held a three-day symposium on this
subject. We call for high-quality papers for the symposium.

    As indicated by the great number of military analyses, more and more
serious political dispute, divergence and confrontation between Mainland 
and Taiwan, along with the steady-fast growth of armed forces of both sides,
has resulted in a mounting possibility of the military clash between
the two. This has happened despite of the fact that the number of
civilian communication and business exchange between the two sides 
has increased dramatically in recent years. The attempt and capability 
of using military forces to solve the Taiwan issue by the People's 
Liberation Army have never been more obvious than now. The rising force 
advocating the independence of Taiwan is another subtle factor, among 
others.
 
    The Center believes that the military clash will be definitely a 
horrible disaster to the people of both sides, and that the latent crisis 
of the clash has already posed a major threat to the Asian and World peace
in the post-Cold War Era. Thus, it becomes necessary and urgent for us
to study the mounting tendency of the military clash, to find the means
of aviodance of the disaster, and scientifically to scale the potential
intensity and the possible consequence of the clash. 

     The Center is an independent research institution. There is no
presupposed assertion being made in this symposium. In the last December,
we held the symposium on "China After Deng Xiaoping" in Washington DC
which received a broad response from both home and abroad. We expect
the same success for this symposium.

     Anyone who shows a strong interest in and has carried the in-depth
research on this subject may register in the symposium. The registrant
must submit a full-length paper of 5,000 to 20,000 words to the Center
no later than November 10th, 1994.  Once the paper is evaluated and
accepted, the Center will pay for his/her paper, the travel expense,
and the board and accommomdation during the meeting.

     The organizer of the symposium can be reached by calling:
   (718)-463-1270  or  (617)-492-0981,  or fax to (718)-460-6248.
