Then Qing dynasty set up Taiwan province and it was the 20th province of Qing.

Japan attacked Taiwan in 1894 and in the following year occupied it, since then Taiwan became Japan’s colony until 1945 when Japan was defeated and Taiwan returned to China. Then four years later Guo Mingtang retreated to Taiwan, the general sectary, Jiang Jieshi became the first president of Tanwan, but he dreamed of ruling the whole China.

When former president of Taiwan, Li denghui claimed that Taiwan is an independent country, the tension intensified between the mainland and Taiwan and since Hong Kong and Macao are back to China, the Chinese people are expecting Taiwan’s return.
