Beijing and Taipei are in a tense situation regarding the status of Taiwan, which China considers its territory. The leaders of the Chinese Communist Party have vowed to gain control of the island, not excluding the use of force if necessary. It has also become a key issue in China's relations with the United States, which supports Taiwan's independence and is committed to providing it with arms for self-defense.
