Many in Taipei point to how Beijing has imposed a harsh national security law in Hong Kong\u2014despite pledges of allowing the former British colony to maintain autonomy under the model of \u201cone country, two systems.\u201d Many also remember how Taiwanese identity was repressed under Nationalist-rule on the island. Democracy and civil rights are now central to Taiwanese identity. But for Beijing promoting \u201cseparatism\u201d is a crime.  Even speeches from Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te have led to massive Chinese displays of military force.  Taiwan\u2019s main political parties have different strategies on how to avoid conflict and being pressured by Beijing. The KMT say provoking China could lead to war and the governing DPP argue Taiwan must deter China.
