About this episode

Sitting just a few kilometres away from mainland China, the tiny Kinmen islands are in an unusual situation. Beijing says they and Taiwan are a part of China, they're a breakaway province, and it wants them back, by force if necessary. As tensions rise, Ed Butler visits Kinmen to discover how this most exposed population feels about Beijing's claim - and hear about plans to build a bridge to connect the islands with the Chinese mainland. Produced and presented by Ed Butler. (Image: A beach on Kinmen Island, with sea defences)
