	EH.Net Encyclopedia: The Economic History of Taiwan
		Taiwan's exports changed little, but the Tainan harbor lost importance as a center of international trade, as much of this trade now passed through Xiamen (Amoy), a port across the strait in Fujian that was also under the control of Koxinga and his heirs.
		Taiwan's agricultural economy was left in shambles by the events of the 1940s.
		Taiwan's postwar industrialization is usually attributed to (1) the decline in land per capita, (2) the change in export markets and (3) government policy.

		Taiwan's two largest cities, Taipei City and Kaohsiung City, although on the island of Taiwan, are not part of Taiwan Province but are centrally-administered municipalities, with the same level as provinces.
		Taiwan's mainstream culture is primarily derived from traditional Chinese culture, with significant influences also from Japanese and American cultures, especially in the areas of politics and architecture.

	Political status of Taiwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since Taiwan's sovereignty belongs to China, the secession of Taiwan should be agreed upon by 1.3 billion Chinese citizens instead of the 23 million Taiwanese citizens who currently live on the Republic of China (Taiwan).
		The position of supporters of Chinese reunification in Taiwan is that Taiwan is part of China but the PRC is not the sole legitimate government of China, and that reunification does not necessarily have to occur under the communist regime.
		Public opinion in Taiwan regarding relations with the PRC is notoriously difficult to gauge, as poll results tend to be extremely sensitive to how the questions are phrased and what options are given, and there is a tendency by all political parties to spin the results to support their point of view.

	Transnational Issues of Taiwan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The People's Republic of China replaced Taiwan at the United Nations in 1971, and Taiwan's diplomatic position has eroded, as many countries changed their official recognition from Taipei to Beijing.
		At the same time, Taiwan has cultivated informal ties with most countries to offset its diplomatic isolation and to expand its economic relations.
		The P.R.C. opposes Taiwan's membership in such organizations, most of which require statehood for membership, because Beijing considers Taiwan to be a province of China, not a separate sovereign state.

	Nuclear Targets in North America
		That is to say - enough nuclear armaments to eliminate from fallout all human life on earth (four or five times over) if they were all exploded.
		Just the US preoccupation anywhere else can be incentive to China to solve its Taiwan problem.
		For some countries, such as Israel, nuclear may come to be seen as the only solution.
