Writer Yan Ze-ya explains China's hesitation to attack Kinmen

Writer Yan Ze-ya suggests China hesitates to attack Kinmen due to fear of triggering a chain reaction of referendums. Yan Ze-ya believes Beijing's inaction stems from concerns that allowing a referendum in Kinmen could embolden calls for self-determination in Tibet, Hong Kong, and even mainland China. She describes the relationship between Chinese officials and Kinmen legislator Chen Yu-jen as a mutually beneficial arrangement, rather than pure political maneuvering.
