TAIWAN-CHINA DISPUTE

Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory, has enjoyed de facto independence since 1949. The dispute over separation and sovereignty that emerged between mainland China and Taiwan following the civil war continues.

Beijing, which has increased its military pressure on Taiwan in recent years, emphasizes that it does not rule out the use of force for the reunification of the island with the mainland.
