I have to say, Taiwan is a relative blindspot for me. Don't really know much about its history and the present day foreign policy implications. All I know is that I see plenty of people, both liberals and conservatives, lamenting over what China might or might not do.
Can someone please provide a brief rundown of what's happening? What's the relevant history? What's going on in the present? What exactly is their relationship with China?
Ok China has civil war, current china won and losers fled to Taiwan (Taiwan having been abandoned by the current occupying force) Now Taiwan claims they deserved to win, and current China says "lol you lost your current land belongs to us too we just aren't bothering to take it"
