Abstract
Taiwan's legal status is still unclear, although Taiwan whose official name is the Republic of China or (ROC) has all the characteristics of an independent state and has a different political system from China, but there is still uncertainty and confusion regarding Taiwan's governance as a separate country. Chiang's ROC government claimed to represent all China and wanted to reoccupy it. At first Taiwan held China's seat on the UN Security Council and was recognized by many Western countries as the sole government of China. In the 1970s there were arguments from some countries that the government of Taiwan could no longer be considered as the sole representative of the hundreds of millions of people living in mainland China. Then in 1971, the UN switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing and the ROC government was force out. China itself until now still adheres to the principle of 'one China' or what is called the one-China principle as conveyed by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2/8/2022), the statement reads " There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.” Can the tension between China and Taiwan end? What is the international role in the relationship between China and Taiwan which continues to heat up?
