Today, the greatest prospect of a destabilizing incident lies in the complex relationships across the Taiwan Strait. China, which regards Taiwan as an integral part of its territory that has sheltered behind the US navy since the days of the Chinese civil war, vows that any Taiwanese declaration of independence will be met by force.
如今，最有可能破坏稳定的事件在于错综复杂的台海关系。中国认为台湾是其领土不可分割的一部分，而台湾则在中国内战以后就躲避在美国海军背后得以保护。中国誓言，台湾宣布独立就会兵戎相见。
