The mainland Chinese city of [[Xiamen]] (pictured here from '''[[Quemoy|Kinmen]]''') is within shelling distance of the small island of Quemoy (or '''Kinmen'''). As one of the front line islands between the [[Republic of China]] and the [[People's Republic of China]], ROC-occupied [[Quemoy]] has seen many battles and tensions between the two throughout the [[Cold War]]. It was generally understood by both the ROC and the PRC that if Quemoy fell to the PRC, Taiwan itself would follow.

List of battles over Quemoy:
*[[Battle of Kuningtou]]
*[[First Taiwan Strait Crisis]] 
*[[Second Taiwan Strait Crisis]]
