Taiwan as Taiwan, or Taiwan as the Republic of China? There is only one UN Security Council seat for China.

  > Taiwan as Taiwan, or Taiwan as the Republic of China? Taiwan can call itself whatever it wants. Recognising the island’s right to govern itself would be reasonable. Nobody would recognise Taiwan’s claim on the mainland. > There is only one UN Security Council seat for China Out of all the challenges around recognising Taiwan, this is like the nine hundredth most pressing.

    The issue is that PRC, ROC, and every other country in the world agrees in principle to the “One China Policy”. The One China Policy is the fundamental basis of things. Nobody, even the Taiwanese, is willing to officially accept the notion that Taiwan is not part of China. I suspect that neither China or Taiwan would allow any country to simultaneously recognize both of them as separate de jure nation states.
