Taiwan Strait is the body of water separating China and Taiwan. It has been a source of tension since the Chinese civil war when Chiang Kai-shek's nationalist forces retreated to Taiwan in 1949 while Mao Zedong's communist forces established control of mainland China. Both sides still claim sovereignty over both Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait, leading to occasional military standoffs between China and the United States which has defended Taiwan's autonomous status.
