Contrary to the PRC's efforts to use tourism to incorporate Taiwan into an imaginary \"One China,\" tourism aggravated tensions between the two polities, polarized Taiwanese society, and pushed Taiwanese popular sentiment farther toward support for national self-determination. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConsequently, Taiwan was performed as a part of China for Chinese group tourists versus experienced as a place of everyday life. Taiwan's national identity grew increasingly plural, such that not just one or two, but \u003ci\u003emany\u003c\/i\u003e Taiwans coexisted, even as it faced an existential military threat.
