Apart from wanting Chinese contractors to work in #Kinmen, "KMT legislators have gone a step further in also pushing for the construction of a bridge between Kinmen and Xiamen, shrugging off concerns that the bridge could be used to facilitate the movement of PLA troops in the event of an invasion."
Steering the Wind
Residents of #Kinmen Island, #Taiwan, credit these wind lions with redirecting typhoons that might threaten their homes. With the season's first system (Wutip) stirring the South China Sea, the wind lions might have a busy year.
Zhaishan Tunnel
Built after extensive artillery barrages from the mainland, this subterranean boat tunnel, carved in solid granite, provided shelter for 42 vessels on #Kinmen island. #travel #Taiwan

3️⃣ McQueen's wife Neile, a famous actress-dancer, was flown "at low level in order to avoid radar detection" to #Kinmen to entertain 3,000 Nationalist soldiers before #Christmas. She also noted, under Chiang's martial law, "The New York Times would arrive with stories missing and pages ripped out."

From Ike deploying military support during the 1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis to help defend #Kinmen and #Matsu, to Carter breaking diplomatic ties with Taiwan in 1979, the future of Taiwan was left "to be straightened out between the governments of Mao Tse-tung and #ChiangKaiShek — or their successors."

Itinéraire d’un vol Taipei- Xiamen à travers le détroit de Formose, mai 2018
[10/10] #Kinmen, avec ses spécificités géographiques et administratives, incarne les contradictions des constructions nationales. Ces tensions font de l’archipel un cas unique pour interroger l’articulation entre géographie, politique et souveraineté. #geography #HGGSP #Term
Vue satellite de Kinmen et Xiamen
[9/10] L’insularité de #Kinmen reflète l’influence du politique sur la géographie : l’archipel est traité tantôt comme une extension de #Taiwan, tantôt comme une périphérie étrangère. Ce paradoxe illustre les enjeux de territorialisation. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[8/10] Les conditions géographiques et historiques uniques de #Kinmen en font un « pli » du système westphalien, ni totalement intégré à #Taiwan ni détaché de l’influence chinoise. Ce statut questionne la fabrique des frontières. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[7/10] #Kinmen incarne les tensions entre normalisation et exceptionnalité au sein de la République de #Chine. Ces dynamiques rappellent le statut des DOM-TOM français, où l’éloignement structure des politiques spécifiques et des représentations ambiguës. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[6/10] Les dimensions administratives et statutaires de #Kinmen le rapprochent des territoires ultramarins français. Il partage des caractéristiques : fiscalité spécifique, subventions aux transports, et mesures pour pallier son éloignement géographique. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[5/10] L’accessibilité de #Kinmen est sujette à des contraintes politiques et climatiques. Les tempêtes et brouillards compliquent l'accès, et la #Chine, par l’ouverture de couloirs aériens comme le M503, accentue les tensions sur cette zone stratégique. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[4/10] Depuis 2020, #Kinmen est devenu une destination touristique privilégiée des Taiwanais privés de voyages internationaux. La campagne locale « À Kinmen comme à l’étranger » renforce l’image d’un ailleurs géographique et identitaire. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[3/10] Le détroit de Formose est l'un des couloirs maritimes les plus disputés, avec des vents violents et des courants rapides. #Kinmen, perçu comme « exotique » par les Taiwanais, est un symbole de rupture spatiale et politique dans la région. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[2/10] Situé à seulement 2 km de la #Chine et 150 km de Taiwan, #Kinmen est un archipel de 153 km² composé d'îles proches des côtes chinoises. Cet éloignement accentue l'idée d'« outre-détroit », reflétant un ailleurs géographique et politique pour #Taiwan. #geography #HGGSP #Term
[1/10] Alexandre Gandil, politiste au CERI de Sciences Po, analyse dans « #Kinmen, un archipel entre #Taiwan et la #Chine » (2024) comment le positionnement géographique et politique de cet archipel révèle les tensions et contradictions du détroit de Formose. #geography #HGGSP #Term
