Abstract:
Is Taiwan an entity with an international legal personality entitling it to a certain degree of international space? Or is it an integral political unit of China? The task of this presentation is to analyze the potential legal and political reaction to an attempt by Taiwan to move its current status over the cusp and into the realm of independence, or an alternative attempt by China to back down Taiwan into a one China with the one system policy.
