China Increases Multi-Faceted Pressure on Taiwan Amid Historical Disputes
China is intensifying pressure on Taiwan through diplomatic, military, grey-zone, psychological, and espionage tactics. Beijing asserts historical claims over Taiwan, citing past Qing Dynasty rule, but Taiwan has never been governed by the People's Republic of China since its 1949 founding. Taiwan's National Security Council emphasizes the island's self-determination and is enhancing defense capabilities and international support to deter potential Chinese expansionism.
