About This Trend

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. The main island of Taiwan, also known as Formosa, lies between the East and South China Seas in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, with the People's Republic of China to the northwest, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south.

The country is trending due to China's escalation of military activity around Taiwan, with Beijing's threats to seize the island, and its rapid build-up of naval and civilian fleets, prompting discussions on Taiwan's relationship with mainland China and its position in the world. .
