Taiwan Strait

ai generated text

The Taiwan Strait is a 180-kilometer wide body of water separating the island of Taiwan and the Asian continent, with a narrowest point of 130 kilometers. It is part of the South China Sea and connects to the East China Sea to the north. The strait is almost entirely less than 150 meters deep and is home to numerous islands, including Xiamen, Kinmen, and Matsu, with the latter two controlled by the Republic of China. The strait's waters are affected by sedimentation from Taiwan's rivers, with up to 60 million tons of sediments deposited annually. The strait has played a significant role in human history, serving as a conduit for trade and cultural exchange between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, as well as a point of contention in the region's politics.learn more on wikipedia
