China is upset about anything they don't control 100% and besides anything they do is not in the interest of anyone but the Communist party. They don't care about their own people let alone others.

Taiwan has a Democratic form of government unlike China, I don't see an issue. They have claimed independence since early 1900s why should they give up their freedom now?

Not only that but the Nationalist in Taiwan were the legitimate government of China before the Communist seized power and the Nationalist Chinese fled to the Island nation.
Until the US Carter Administration the communist were not oven recognized as the legitimate government of Mainland China, the Democracy the Republic of China government was. Jimmy Carter sold out the Nationalist Chinese and gave into the Communist and declared them hte Government of China and no longer the Nationalist in Taiwan. The United Nations also followed suite and did they same following Carter's declaration and opening an Embassy in Communist Mainland China and closing the Embassy in Taiwan .

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Nixon was the First President to open up relations with Communist China but certainly what Carter did was way beyond establishing a two way dialog but selling out the Nationalist Chinese in Taiwan. (A place I did visit in an official capacity on an Exchange program with the CAF, Chinese Air Force during the Nixon administration) Those acts DIN"T happen during the Nixon Administration, I was in Taiwan while He was President. I'm NOT of the opinion that Carter ever had any evil intent and actually His honesty has never been in question as far as I know. I don't think that was a good decision although there were many other things He did accomplish that I doubt anyone else could have, ie: Bringing Egypt and Israel together after centuries of fighting between the two. That was a major accomplishment.
