We investigate increasing military and diplomatic pressures on Taiwan from the People's Republic of China.
The red flags were impossible to miss. They fluttered noisily on a windy day outside one of Taiwan's best-known landmarks, Taipei 101.
From a distance, I could hear snatches of a song praising the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP. As an elderly man in a Mao cap energetically belted out the ditty, other members of his group marched around scores of bemused - perhaps bewildered - passers-by.
Nearby, another group clad in yellow sat quietly in neat rows in the hot August sun, eyes closed, palms together. A police officer rubbed sweat off his brow as he trained a small video camera on the two lots of people. Three of his colleagues looked on, perhaps slightly bored - these demonstrations took place nearly every day outside Taipei 101.
