Taiwan anticipates increased military and political pressure from China prior to the handover of power in May.

Taiwan warns of increased pressure from China ahead of the island's handover of power to a new government in May. China is likely to maintain military and political intimidation against Taiwan, while offering economic incentives to those who help with its goal of unification with the island. The Chinese tactics are expected to intensify in the weeks leading up to May 20 and could continue afterwards.
