How many countries recognize Taiwan sovereignty?
Even as far back as the 1960s the Pentagon considered it a lost cause hence there are no US bases in the island.
- suraci 2y agoit's a lost cause in 1960s, but not now
- red-iron-pine 2y agodrones and EW have changed that game. maybe not in Taiwan's favor, though. but Taiwan is a mountainous, forested island. it'll be an ugly, expensive occupation.
- suraci 2y agonah, china will take over taiwan very easily, the tough part is not occupation, is how to make it quick with least damage, and the further governance
- dismalaf 2y agoNot even Taiwan claims to be a separate country from China, legally they're the "Republic of China".
- ImJamal 2y agoThe place we commonly refer to as China is not the Republic of China, but the People's Republic of China. That is like saying that Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the same country because they both end in Congo.
- dismalaf 2y ago> The place we commonly refer to as China is not the Republic of China, but the People's Republic of China. ??? No kidding. ROC = Taiwan. The ROC were the Chinese government, went into exile in Taiwan after they lost the civil war and still claim all of China, which is why they're not claiming to be a separate country from mainland China, which is currently governed by the PRC...
- ImJamal 2y agoI was confused by what you were saying. I thought you were claiming that Taiwan considered themselves part of the PRC.
- ImJamal 2y agoThis is a list of countries that have a full diplomatic relationship with Taiwan. Other countries may have varying degrees on recognition of Taiwan Belize Eswatini Guatemala Haiti Holy See (Vatican City) Marshall Islands Palau Paraguay Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Tuvalu
