Thousands in Taiwan protest the current administration's pro-China ties. (See my May 5th post about China's business inroads in Taiwan).
I would be concerned about China's increased military spending and number of missiles aimed at the island.

Chinese investment in Taiwan
It's surprising to see a Chinese company investing in Taiwan and even more surprising to see Beijing agree to Taiwan's participation in a World Health Organization meeting.
The two countries haven't been friends since 1949 and in the 1970s mainland China bumped Taiwan out of the U.N.
The new investment is China Mobile, a Chinese government-owned wireless carrier. They have invested heavily in Taiwan's third-biggest phone company.
According to the WSJ, the two countries also signed a series of agreements "easing limits on investment between them and establishing the first regular two-way air and shipping traffic in six decades."
