Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s sacred territory. Historically, Taiwan has been occupied by Spain, the Netherlands, and Japan. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Taiwan returned to China's territory. After 1949, due to well-known reasons, Taiwan was separated from the motherland. Over the past 50 years, Taiwan's politics, economy, culture, and society have undergone tremendous changes. Taiwan Island is China's largest island, located on the continental shelf off the southeast coast of the motherland. Taiwan straddles the center of the Western Pacific Waterway and is an important transportation hub for maritime connections between China and other countries in the Pacific region.
