Despite of its economical success in recent years, Taiwan faces intractable political problems which stem from differing views of the island’s national identity. The roots of these problems lie deep in Taiwan’s past. For one thing, Taiwan’s political status has never been unassailable. Taiwan has not always been considered part of China, has often been governed by non-Chinese, and has never been ruled exclusively by people who consider Taiwan as home. This problem is intensified when Peking demands that Taiwan be surrendered to Communist Chinese control, and threats that the island will be taken by force if necessary.

Last year (1996), Peking launched missiles targetting nearsea of Taiwan and mounted a mock invasion to try to disrupt presidential elections, which China claimed were part of Taipei’s quest for internationally recognized independence.
