Taiwan possesses four island groups off the coast of mainland China: Kinmen, the Matsu Islands, Wuqiu, and Penghu.
China might opt to seize one or more of these islands in the coming years, either to test American and Taiwanese resolve, as a bargaining chip, as salami tactics, or as part of an invasion or naval blockade.
Will China militarily seize any of Taiwan's outlying islands before the end of 2028?

3.00Really cool how well-crafted, thorough, and informative the description here is, especially with the links. Good stuff!
@NADZOR small note on this: no-one in Taiwan has ever said 'the Penghu', it's almost always just Penghu, although The Penghu Islands is technically correct. I suspect this error comes from a rather contorted paragraph on Wikipedia.
