If Taiwan were to take the gamble and cross that line, the argument goes, it will have moved closer to "de jure independence," or legal separation from the mainland, and Beijing would have little choice but to engage it militarily.

And yet, Taiwan has repeatedly "declared" its independence ever since the island's process of democratization began at the end of the last century.
