Mapping the World retraces the history of Taiwan, a fledgling democracy whose international status is unclear - a dot of a country that continues to hold out against its giant neighbour. The Taiwanese  president, Tsai Ing-wen, has just been comfortably reelected, following a campaign in which she stressed the need to resist Chinese attempts at domination.

A year earlier, her opposite number in Beijing, the all-powerful Xi Jinping, reaffirmed his determination to bring the island territory of Taiwan under China's control, using force if necessary, on the same "one country, two systems" basis as Hong Kong.
