The rift underscores the ongoing tension between the two, as China asserts sovereignty over Taiwan, despite its democratic governance.

Taiwan Hit With Strongest Earthquake , in 25 Years.
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked
Taiwan early on April 3, AP reports.
Nine people have been confirmed dead so far.
Over 900 others have been injured.
Dozens of people are
trapped in buildings and quarries. .
The massive quake prompted a
tsunami warning that has since been lifted.

I’ve grown accustomed
to (earthquakes). But today
was the first time I was scared
to tears by an earthquake. , Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.
I was awakened by the earthquake.
I had never felt such intense
