Taiwan watches China’s 15th Five-Year Plan for moves to deepen economic ties with Kinmen, fearing loss of sovereignty.
Taiwan is monitoring China’s upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan for potential provisions on deeper economic integration with Kinmen, a frontline island under its control.
Officials fear Beijing may use infrastructure projects, energy, water, and expanded airport access to exert influence, possibly undermining Taiwan’s sovereignty.
The new Xiamen airport, just 3 kilometers from Kinmen, and a planned bridge raise security and jurisdictional concerns.
While Taiwan has not approved the bridge and opposes unilaterally expanded air routes, it warns such moves could erode autonomy, likening risks to past territorial annexations, though noting differences in local identity.
The plan is expected to be formally released in March 2026.
