Just a few kilometers away from the Xiamen coast, the small Kinman island saw fighting between China and Taiwan in the 1949 civil war. China and Taiwan separated during the war, but Beijing claims the island as its own territory and rejects the notion of Taiwan's leader as a national president. Beijing has threatened to capture Taiwan by force. The mainland government hinted at that threat on Friday, saying it would not "look on indifferently" if the election situation there spun out of control. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)

Just a few kilometers away from the Xiamen coast, the small Kinman island saw fighting between China and Taiwan in the 1949 civil war. China and Taiwan separated during the war, but Beijing claims the island as its own territory and rejects the notion of Taiwan's leader as a national president. Beijing has threatened to capture Taiwan by force. The mainland government hinted at that threat on Friday, saying it would not "look on indifferently" if the election situation there spun out of control. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)
