Tensions around Taiwan Strait escalate

In recent months, tensions across Taiwan Strait have escalated, especially after China conducted military exercises close to island, in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit. Pelosi was first Speaker of US to visit Taiwan since late 90s, when Newt Gingrich visited island. It is worth noting that US does not accept One China principle and has never accepted it. 

US accepts One China policy, which is different from One China principle. It is also worth mentioning that Communist Party of China has never controlled or governed island of Taiwan in any way. After end of Chinese civil war between Mao's communists and Chiang Kai-Shek's nationalists, nationalists migrated to Taiwan and began governing island. 

island was originally known as Formosa, which translates into 'beautiful island'. Portuguese named island Formosa. For a significant period of history, Taiwan was under control of Japanese. Taiwan is also not an island where just Han Chinese reside, though that is often impression, island has a significant number of people who belong to indigenous tribe and current President of Taiwan is one such person.
