Kinmen: The Taiwanese islands next to China
What's it like to live on the edge of the one of the world’s most enduring flashpoints?
Sitting just a few kilometres away from mainland China, the tiny Kinmen islands are in an unusual situation.
Beijing says they and Taiwan are a part of China, they're a breakaway province, and it wants them back, by force if necessary.
As tensions rise, Ed Butler visits Kinmen to discover how this most exposed population feels about Beijing's claim - and hear about plans to build a bridge to connect the islands with the Chinese mainland.
Produced and presented by Ed Butler.
