China Taiwan Conflict Explained 2024 | What is happening with China and Taiwan? China VS Taiwan

Описание: In this video we look at what is happening with the China and Taiwan conflict in 2022. We first start by looking the early history of Taiwan and when it was first discovered as an island, all the way to Post WWII era. Then we talk about how Chiang Kai-she's troops were pushed back in the civil war that took place by Mao Zedong's communist forces. This is when the People's Republic of China (PRC) took over mainland China and the Republic of China fled to Taiwan where there were decades of hostility until the 1980s and 1990s. Relations improved until Chen Shui-bian was elected from the Democratic Progressive Party in 2000, and China passed an anti-secession law if Taiwan tried to succeed. In 2016, Tsai Ing-wen took office and is now the current President of Taiwan. Since the unrest and riots in Hong Kong in 2018, China has re-asserted its influence by adding additional security laws to prevent secession, terrorism, subversion and collusion. Lastly, we talk about the response from the United States. Although there is no formal diplomatics relations between the U.S. and Taiwan, President Biden has said that the U.S. does not encourage Taiwan to seek independence but wants to maintain peace in the region and that the U.S. supports the Taiwan Act of 1979. President Xi of China has said that it will take resolute measure if necessary if separatist forces in Taiwan cross a red line. There has a been a record number of Chinese warplane incursions sent into Taiwan's air defense zone in the past year. Some believe that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is much closer than we think.
