    Taiwan has struggled with its national identity and relationship with China. The 1992 Consensus established that both China and Taiwan's Kuomintang party acknowledge there is "one China," but they disagree on whether that includes Taiwan. More recently, Taiwan's first female president Tsai Ing-wen has pushed for Taiwan to assert its independence from China and maintain its liberal democracy. This has led to tensions as China seeks to eventually unify Taiwan with the mainland, potentially through force. Domestic democratic movements in Taiwan also show support for distancing from China and defending Taiwan's sovereignty.

    Principle seeks
    unification with
    Taiwan, with the use
    of force if necessary.
    ● First female president

    notion of DPP to stand
    up against Beijing and
    keep Taiwan a liberal
    democracy.
