Taiwan will elect a new president on Saturday in an election China has dubbed a choice between peace and war.
No matter the result of the vote, Taiwan’s freedom is a danger to the Chinese Communist Party's hopes of unification.
There are still those in Taiwan who see themselves as Chinese and look to China with admiration.
On the other side are those who feel deeply Taiwanese and see Beijing as yet another colonising foreign power.
There are also 600,000 or so indigenous peoples who trace their ancestry back thousands of years.
And then there is a younger, ambivalent generation who feel Taiwanese but see no need for Taiwan to declare independence.
