If the Chinese Communists have decided to risk a war, it is not because Quemoy itself is so valuable to them. |
In the fall of 1954 they attacked Quemoy and matsu, the same two islands they are attacking now. |

Was it really about islands named Quemoy and matsu or the missile gap? |
The decade ended with the PRC in possession of all the disputed islands except Quemoy, Matsu, the Pescadores, and of course Taiwan. |
