"March of 1996, China launched missiles targeting near the ocean of Taiwan, trying to influence the outcome of the presidential election by a show of force". Because of this event, many people living in Taiwan started to fear war. The stock market began to drop and people were fear about the currency of NT Dollar to other forms would be changed if one day it is taken over by the Communists of China by using the force. Almost in the end of the presidential election United States sent out many warships to the ocean between Taiwan and China just want to make sure that China would not use force on Taiwan in recent year. In 2000 before the presidential election, China said to Taiwan that there would be war if the pro-independent democrat party won the election and to announce Taiwan should be independent and they want to be independent. There will be a war anytime, even though you are in the toilet. The people living in Taiwan are afraid and the economy drop, also many people seek their way out of Taiwan.  This is a big part of the reason why my family wanted to move to United State of America because no one wants to live their life under fear of invasion at anytime by a bigger power, like communist China.  Taiwan should be independent and recognized by the world, not only known as another province of China.   

 Long time ago there was a civil war. The two parties were against each other. One of them call communist it was represent by people republic of china, and other one called nationalist it was represent by republic of china. The war was fighting for many years because each parties wants to have the authority to own the mainland china and to control everything to start new life of china. Nationalist was lost and force to move to a small island named Taiwan. They took a lot of money from the Chinese government. They located in Taiwan and start their own life. People start to build the house and do the business, so the economy growth very fast, they even had few big science parks in Taiwan. China was wondering if the Tech and economy growth more fast than they do, it could be a big problem to china. In these recent years China start to announce to Taiwan that Taiwan is part of china, and they said Taiwan is not an independent country. They want their island back, it made people in Taiwan start to angry because people who living in Taiwan was force by people republic of china to move to Taiwan, and now they want it back. Taiwanese people think they were using the force to make them to leave and now they want them back, to those Taiwanese it doesn't make sense at all. China was using the force before and they are going to use force again to treat Taiwanese people.
