Dilemma of the Great Power Politics in the Cross-Strait relations 

Questions about Taiwan’s status have been fueling tensions among Taiwan and China and the United States (US). The long-standing conflict between Taiwan and China is certainly making China short of patience now when it’s aspiring to grow its sphere of influence.

Taiwan with its outstanding performance of successfully implementing democracy in the island and free and fair elections to elect the self-governing officials has inculcated in them a distinct ‘Taiwanese’ identity which is certainly an impediment to PRC’s ‘One-China’ principle and hence, it might use iron fist in tackling the incompliance of Taiwanese government.
