Kinmen is an outlaying island located nearby mainland China, but it is controlled by Taiwan. It just lay off the coast of Xiamen island and 200 km from Taiwan. It takes only 30 minutes by boat from Xiamen to Kinmen. Geographically speaking, the place is virtually enveloped within the maritime sphere of mainland China, and it is a mystery of geopolitics that it is a wholly controlled subsidiarity of an opposing political entity on the other side of the Straight of Taiwan. To put it simply, a bridge could easily be built between this Taiwanese island and mainland China — that’s how close it is.
