Quick Glance: Taiwan Rejects China's Aid Offer After Earthquake
  • Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

  • China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

  • Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

  • China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.
