Wow, I had no idea that Taiwan controlled an island less than three miles from mainland China, essentially surrounded by China in a bay. (The main island is 80+ miles away.) I'm really surprised China has allowed that for 80 years. Unsurprisingly, the beach looks like this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Shuang+Kou+Zhan+Dou+Cun/@2...
Also interesting that there's a Japanese island only 60 miles from Taiwan on the other side. I guess claims to small Pacific islands have been weird for a long time.
If the Chinese Communist Party decides to escalate the pressure on Taiwan then one likely scenario is some sort of blockade against those small islands close to the mainland.
