A family member mentioned there might be an issue between Taiwan and Mainland China, but the last time she traveled there was 1980! I keep telling her things have changed a little bit since then, but I figured I'd better check just to make sure.
They were right in their time and place. We had to do business in PRC and Taiwan back then and all family who had to visit these two countries had multiple passports and Western government were issuing them for that reason.
Back then there were always PR photos of missiles aim across the Taiwan strait from both coast. The strait was no man's "water".
Now relationship has change more than a little bit.
For an young, educated handsome American male the only danger I can see are the Chinese girls at both places!
