Taiwan: A short history and the potential for American war with China

This 9 minute video by Al Jazeera (November 2021) explains some history about how Taiwan became the Republic of China. It mentions the possibility of the US getting into a war with China over a critically strategic interest the US has in Taiwan, namely production of critical microchips. At the time of the video, one expert said the possibility of US-China war was low but increasing. 

The video also points out how the Taiwanese people see the situation and what they want to do about it. Most want to leave things just as they are.
