could Taiwan hold onto Hainan though? could they seperate into two states?MerryPrankster said:Hainan is closer to the mainland, and it is thus much easier to cross over in the face of armed opposition than with Taiwan (hence the swimming story).
If the ROC was able to hold Taiwan AND Hainan, they'd probably have to spend more on defense and there'd be more "incidents" (the Taiwanese and Chinese shelled each other across the Strait several times in the early 1950s, for example).
