Flashpoint: China and Taiwan | 101 East

China is pursuing prosperity and influence on the global stage. But what does this mean for one of its closest neighbours, Taiwan?

The Chinese Communist Party has never ruled Taiwan but taking control of the island is a high priority for President Xi Jinping.

101 East examines the fractured relationship between China and Taiwan.
