The 228 incident in Taiwan was an anti government protest that resulted in the massacre of 10,000 to 30,000 civilians. This incident took place on February 28, 1947, which gave it its name.

The crisis came in April 1955, when the United States threatened to use nuclear weapons in the event of a Communist assault on Quemoy and Matsu.It led to China giving up on Taiwan making it an independent state.

You'd need to check out history books for details, but basically here's what it boils down to:

There was a civil war in China (at the time formally known as the Republic of China). The Communists won and renamed the nation the Peoples' Republic of China. The leadership of the Republic of China and about 2 million sympathizers retreated/escaped to the island of Formosa and formed a (democratic) government-in-exile there.

Both the RoC and the PRC claim to be the legitimate government of all of China (the mainland and Formosa/Taiwan). This is an extremely touchy subject. The PRC insists that other governments not recognize the RoC as a sovereign nation; most other governments do not OFFICIALLY recognize the RoC as a sovereign nation but treat it as if it were one anyway in every way that matters. For example, the US does not have an "embassy" in Taiwan. Instead there is a "non-profit organization" (operating under the auspices of the United States but not ... officially ... a US government agency) called the American Institute in Taiwan which serves the same functions as an embassy, but which is not ... officially ... an embassy; Taiwan does not have an "embassy" in the United States, but rather maintains the Taipei Economic and Cultural Relations Office which serves the same functions as an embassy but again is not ... officially ... one.

When the People's Republic of China was established on the Chinese mainland in 1949, Chinese nationalists fled to the island of Taiwan. Since that occurrence, there has been a dispute over whether Taiwan is part of China or a separate, sovereign country.

This is not a researched answer, but the result of personal experience. Wherever you go in Taiwan, you see rice paddies. Most of them are privately owned but they produce rice not only for personal use, but also for commercial purposes. The second thing you see are fruit trees upon fruit trees. These are mostly for commercial purposes, though. There are also numerous kinds of vegetables (like yams, sweet potatoes, bamboo shoots, etc.) that are grown in different parts of Taiwan, depending on the weather conditions of each part. Another very popular product is the betel nut. These trees are planted wherever there is a little space, and in mountainous areas, the betel nut trees are often planted on the slopes of the mountains. In the smaller rural areas, most families have some kind of a vegetable garden where they produce something of everything. For some of the elderly, these little vegetable patches provide their main income.
