History 

Dutch and Spanish settlers established bases in Taiwan in the early 17th century.

Around 1.2 million people relocated from China to Taiwan along with the Republic of China (Taiwan) government in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

The Taiwan was founded in 1912 in China. At that time, Taiwan was under Japanese colonial rule as a result of the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki, by which the Qing ceded Taiwan to Japan. The Taiwan government began exercising jurisdiction over Taiwan in 1945 after Japan surrendered at the end of World War II. The Taiwan government relocated to Taiwan in 1949 while fighting a civil war with the Chinese Communist Party. Since then, the taiwan has continued to exercise effective jurisdiction over the main island of Taiwan and a number of outlying islands, leaving Taiwan and China each under the rule of a different government. The authorities in Beijing have never exercised sovereignty over Taiwan or other islands administered by the Taiwan. tranquility ref

But Taiwan’s armed forces are well trained and President Tsai has made their modernisation a priority. Chinese jets and aircraft make regular forays into the airspace and seas around Taiwan, which Taipei denounces as attempts at intimidation. The two have not fired a shot in anger in decades.
