Taiwan independence
Taiwan independence refers to the movement advocating for Taiwan to formally declare itself a separate nation from China. The island currently functions as a self-governing democracy with its own government, economy, and political systems. However, China views Taiwan as part of its territory and opposes any moves towards independence. Proponents of Taiwan independence argue for the right to self-determination and protection of Taiwan's democratic values, while critics express concerns about potential military conflict with China. The issue is a sensitive and complex topic in international relations, involving historical, political, and cultural dimensions.

Taiwan Independence refers to the movement advocating for Taiwan to be recognized as a separate, sovereign nation, independent from China. Historically, after the Chinese Civil War, the government of the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan in 1949, while the People's Republic of China was established on the mainland. China views Taiwan as a part of its territory, while many in Taiwan see themselves as distinct, with their own government, culture, and democratic systems. The independence movement seeks formal recognition of Taiwan’s sovereignty, but it faces significant political and military pressure from China, which opposes any change in the status quo.
