The tensions surrounding Taiwan are an ongoing geopolitical fault line. China's President Xi Jinping is demanding that the island comes under the control of the People's Republic. Supported by the USA, the government in Taipei is insisting on Taiwan's autonomy. Relations between China, Taiwan and the USA have become much closer in recent years, while economic and security policy interests have become increasingly intertwined.
