Taiwan鈥檚 International Engagement and the Way Forward

Taiwan鈥檚 international legal status is unique, and remains far from settled within the context of international law. In the realm of international politics, this issue is further complicated. While some align with the one China principle, many states and international organizations have their own 鈥渙ne China policy鈥濃攔ecognizing the PRC as China鈥檚 sole legal representative鈥攚hile not accepting China鈥檚 assertion over Taiwan.

Beijing seems intent on erasing these divergent perspectives. While efforts to promote the one China principle on an international scale is not new for Beijing, the PRC has intensified its push to promote its own interpretation. Beijing鈥檚 intensified discourse appears to be aimed at lending legitimacy to its assertion of sovereignty over Taiwan through misrepresentation.

Yu-Jie Chen, the 乐鱼 体育鈥檚 2023 Taiwan Scholar, discussed how Taiwan鈥檚 continued exclusion from the international regime has implications not only for Taipei鈥檚 representation in international organizations, but also for the integrity of global governance at large.
