China and Taiwan: A Battle of Historical Narratives

China and Taiwan are entangled in a conflict over their historical interpretations, with China considering Taiwan as part of its territory. Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te challenges this view, emphasizing Taiwan's independence. Rising tensions and military maneuvers by China increase the risk of military conflict in the region.

Tensions between China and Taiwan are escalating, fueled by disagreements over historical interpretations. China claims Taiwan as its territory, yet Taiwan's President, Lai Ching-te, argues for its independence.

China has heightened military and political pressure on Taiwan, with frequent exercises around the island. Reports mention China might resort to force to annex Taiwan.

The historical narrative is crucial. Taiwan's President Lai emphasizes Taiwan's sovereignty, citing the Republic of China's establishment over a century ago, contrasting People's Republic of China founded approximately 70 years back.
