| description | Taiwan has played a prominent role in Chinese politics since the founding of the
People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. For decades, the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) called for the "liberation" of the island, with the tone of the rhetoric
changing but not the goal of unification. While cross-strait relations may have
warmed under the Ma Ying-jeou administration and Sino-American relations
beyond the Taiwan issue have greatly improved in the past decade, the role which
Taiwan plays in Chinese nationalism may still lead to an undesired conflict. This
article highlights the role of Taiwan within the Chinese nationalism and
specifically how the island's democratisation challenges this narrative. While
economic relations between both sides increase, these underlying tensions do not
preclude future military confrontation. |
