On Saturday, the Taiwanese people vote for a new president.
It's one of the most important and closely-watched elections around the world this year.
While most of the world – including the United States – does not officially recognize Taiwan as an independent country, they are watching the results.
On New Year's Eve, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said China would "surely be reunified" with Taiwan – reiterating Beijing's aspiration to one day control Taiwan. Caught in the middle of this are the island's people.
NPR's Ailsa Chang and Emily Feng spent some time with one family who don't agree on what it means to be Taiwanese.
