Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taiwan has played a prominent role in Chinese politics since the founding of the \u00a0People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. For decades, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) called for the “liberation” of the island, with the tone of the rhetoric \u00a0changing but not the goal of unification. While cross-strait relations may have \u00a0warmed under the Ma Ying-jeou administration and Sino-American relations \u00a0beyond the Taiwan issue have greatly improved in the past decade, the role which Taiwan plays in Chinese nationalism may still lead to an undesired conflict. This article highlights the role of Taiwan within the Chinese nationalism and specifically how the island’s democratisation challenges this narrative. While economic relations between both sides increase, these underlying tensions do not preclude future military confrontation.<\/p>\n
