Overview	Taiwan is an island which has for all practical purposes been independent since 1950, but which China regards as a rebel region that must be reunited with the mainland - by force if necessary.

Long-standing tension with the mainland has eased since the China-friendly President Ma Ying-jeou took office in May 2008.
