  From the great Ladrone island, at the entrance of the inner seas, to Kumsing Moon, there are all along various naval stations ; and to bring in foreign vessels there are pilots appointed ; so that it cannot be a difficult thing to keep a constant watch upon the ships. And even though from Fuhkeën and Chěkeäng, from the ports of Shanghae and Teëntsin , vessels should repair directly to the receiving ships to trade with them ; yet, situated as their anchorage is, in the inner seas, what is there to prevent such vessels from being observed and seized?]

  The slogan was not entirely empty of positive reformist content, but Hunan was a part of China's battle belt — a line of provinces stretching from Fujian in the East through Jiangxi, Hunan, and into Sichuan. Reform here was a tenuous thing, dependent upon the ebb and flow of outsiders’ ambitions.

  Koxinga’s forces hoped to launch an invasion to recapture the mainland from the Manchus, but instead the Manchu armies captured Taiwan in 1682. For the next 200 years there was substantial migration from the Fujian province across the Taiwan Straits. These immigrants brought with them their culture and language, which are still in evidence today. Taiwan remained a county of the Fujian province from 1684 until 1887, when with a population of more than 2½ million it became a province of China.

  President Ma further noted that in 1683 during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) the emperor formally included the Diaoyutais as territory of China in Taiwan Prefecture, Fujian Province. In 1812, the Diaoyutais were placed under the administration of the Kavalan Office of the Taiwan prefectural government, he added, pointing out that the Record of Missions to Taiwan and Adjacent Waters 《臺海使槎錄》 and the Illustrations of Taiwan 《全臺圖説》 prove that China effectively ruled over the Diaoyutai Islets during the Qing Dynasty.

  But the relationship between the people of Kinmen and the Chinese mainland is complicated. Rather than old enemies, they are historically the same people, citizens of the Chinese province of Fujian. “Our language, our culture, our way of life are the same,” said Chen, 73. “This situation is very difficult for people on Kinmen and very absurd.”

  Taiwan opened the links between its two small islands and China without talking to Beijing, which has grudgingly accepted the move but hasn't said how much it will cooperate. So everyone closely watched how the two ships were greeted in Fuzhou and Xiamen, the cities in the southeast Chinese province of Fujian.

  While North Korea and the South continue to bicker - most recently over the sinking of a South Korean warship - China and Taiwan have been building closer business ties. One project full of symbolism for the two is an undersea cable project that will link the northern Taiwan town of Tamsui (also called Danshui) to China's Fujian Province. […]
  The cable appears to be a replacement for a similar project announced last year to connect Xiamen, a city in China's Fujian Province, to Kinmen, a Taiwanese island within sight of China.

  Across the water, which is 110 miles wide, is Fujian province, where Xi spent 17 years climbing the political ladder before making the leap to the national stage. Bristling with upgraded naval ports, airbases and missiles trained on Taiwan, Fujian is the most likely launchpad for any Chinese operation.
  On both sides of the strait, the story of an invasion of Taiwan from Fujian that did go ahead still looms large for locals and leaders, even though it took place more than 350 years ago.
