This R&D provides resources about student protests that have broken out in Taiwan in response to the Taiwanese government considering a trade pact with China. China continues to claim Taiwan as a piece of its territory under the “one China” policy, while Taiwanese nationalists continue to assert that they should be recognized as an independent entity. China’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan in 1949 after they lost the Chinese Civil War to Mao Zedong’s Communist faction.
