The "Taiwan Question" has been at the heart of politics in East Asia since 1950, when the Americans intervened in the Chinese civil war; or perhaps even since 1895, when Taiwan became part of the Japanese empire. It really is a disputed place that has played an important part in the story of Asia that is modern and modern China. Nowadays, relations amid the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Chinese mainland, and Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan, are civilizing fast.
Taiwan investment in the mainland has played an important role in China's economic boom in recent decades. Investments, ventures, study, traveling, and union across the Strait point to a future of ever-greater interaction between two parties that brought Asia to the brink of war three times in the last half century (1954, 1958, 1996). But what does the future hold? Will Taiwan boom and yet maintain its autonomy as part of the broader market of "Greater China"? Will economic integration lead to Taiwan's incorporation into the People's Republic of China? How might the worldwide economic crisis affect any of this? To acquire perspective on modern Taiwan, let's look first to its history.
