These differences are the reason that in certain political or economical situations one country
Cross-Strait Relations The Cross-Strait relations refer to the bitter and unstable relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China. The term comes from the relationship that both China and Taiwan has had, physically across the Taiwanese Strait. The relationship between the countries has been filled with war, tension, and little contact. In the earliest of Taiwanese history, both nations fought to seek diplomatic control as the legitimate form of Chinese government (Lee)

Therefore, one cannot begin to postulate and critically comment upon a possible “Taiwan future” without first assessing the prevailing political climate of her mainland cousin: the People’s Republic of China. Given the current rhetoric espoused by both Taipei and Beijing, one may argue that three possible “Taiwan futures” emerge as most likely to occur.

and the CCP The Roman Republic and the modern American government have been compared many times, but the shockingly similar cutthroat politics of the Roman Empire and Chinese Communist Party have not.
