Taiwanese independence

Taiwanese independence refers to the movement advocating for Taiwan to be recognized as a separate, sovereign nation, distinct from China. Taiwan operates with its own government, military, and democratic elections, but the People's Republic of China considers it a part of its territory and opposes formal independence. The issue is complex, involving historical, political, and international factors, with some in Taiwan supporting full independence, others favor closer ties with China, and some seeking a status quo. The debate impacts regional stability and international relations, especially involving the United States and China.
