this chapter assesses how Taiwan's government has governed and legislated the immigration of migrants from the PRC. It highlights the dominant role of national identity as a tool for exclusion, particularly within the context of cross-strait relations. It concludes that, given the dynamic nature of nationalism, and debates of national identity, it has real limitations; opening the door to new interpretations and the reframing of highly sensitive policy debates.
