Since 1995, when PRC missile tests in the Taiwan Strait raised the specter of military confrontation between the ROC and PRC, people in Taiwan have awoken to the fact that "the Taiwan Strait crisis" is no longer a term of purely historical interest.
自從一九九五年中共在台灣海峽進行飛彈試射，挑起台海危機之後，國人開始警覺到「台海危機」一詞不再只是存在於歷史之中，而是隨時可能發生。
