Taiwan became important because an exile government of China was formed there that claimed to be the rightful government of China. This caused China to have two governments, one that ruled China which was the communist one and one in exile which claimed their right to have power over China but couldn't actually use that power in any way. The problem still exists today and other countries have mostly been neutral on this question.
The US did this in hope of securing the release of American hostages in Lebanon. Hope this helps! :)

The correct option is BRITAIN DID NOT WANT TRADE WITH COLONIES TO ENRICH ITS COMPETITORS.
Mercantilism is a form of economy policy which was designed to maximize the trade status of Britain and ultimately to increase the wealth of the nation. The policy encourage exporting of goods but discourages importing. Also, the policy forbid the colonies from trading with other nations.
The events that led to the division of British India into India and Pakistan was a method the British had to secure how independence would take place. The British government had a system of political control of “divide and rule” and because of that, this strategy was perfect.
Muslims were 25% of British India’s population, therefore a religious minority. They were afraid of losing protection as the independence of India got closer.
With the approach of WWII, things got even worse, since the British took India into the war without consultation of the population or the legislative, this caused even more pressure for independence and the creation of a separate state.
The separation between India and Pakistan caused riots, mass casualties, a wave of migration - Muslims headed towards Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhs headed into India -, and a death toll of 2 million people.
