Scenarios about 'cross-strait relations'
Cross-strait relations refer to the complex political, economic, and cultural interactions between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) across the Taiwan Strait. These relations have been characterized by diplomatic tensions, military posturing, and competing sovereignty claims since the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949. In alternate history scenarios, different outcomes in cross-strait relations often explore themes of Chinese reunification, Taiwanese independence, or international diplomatic recognition.
