  thanks to governmental deregulation, tariff
  reduction, and other trade liberalization
  measures introduced prior to accession.

Political status of Taiwan

• The controversy regarding the political status of
  Taiwan hinges on whether Taiwan, including the
  Pescadores (Penghu), should remain effectively
  independent as territory of the Republic of China
  (ROC), become unified with the territories now
  governed by the People's Republic of China (PRC),
  or formally declare independence and become the
  Republic of Taiwan. The controversy over the
  political status of the Republic of China hinges
  on whether its existence as a state is legitimate
  and recognized.

40
Political status of Taiwan(2)

• Currently, Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and some
  other minor islands effectively make up the
  jurisdiction of the state known as the Republic
  of China. The ROC ruled mainland China, and
  claimed sovereignty over Outer Mongolia and Tannu
  Uriankhai (part of which is present day Tuva)
  before losing the Chinese Civil War and
  relocating its government to Taipei in December
  1949.

41
Political status of Taiwan(3)

• Since the ROC lost its United Nations seat in
  1971 (replaced by the PRC), most sovereign states
  have switched their diplomatic recognition to the
  PRC, recognizing or acknowledging the PRC to be
  the sole legitimate representative of all China.
  As of January 2008, the ROC maintains official
  diplomatic relations with 23 sovereign states,1
  although de facto relations are maintained with
  nearly all others. Agencies such as the Taipei
  Economic and Cultural Representative Office and
  American Institute in Taiwan operate as de facto
  embassies without official diplomatic status.

42
Political status of Taiwan(4)

• In addition, the situation can be confusing
  because of the different parties and the effort
  by many groups to deal with the controversy
  through a policy of deliberate ambiguity. The
  political solution that is accepted by many of
  the current groups is the following perspective
  of the status quo that is, to unofficially treat
  Taiwan as a state and at a minimum, to officially
  declare no support for the government of this
  state making a formal declaration of
  independence. What a formal declaration of
  independence would consist of is not clear and
  can be confusing given the fact that the People's
  Republic of China has never controlled Taiwan
  since its founding and the fact that the Republic
  of China, whose government controls Taiwan,
  considers itself a de jure sovereign state. The
  status quo is accepted in large part because it
  does not define the legal status or future status
  of Taiwan, leaving each group to interpret the
  situation in a way that is politically acceptable
  to its members. At the same time, a policy of
  status quo has been criticized as being dangerous
  precisely because different sides have different
  interpretations of what the status quo is,
  leading to the possibility of war through
  brinkmanship or miscalculation.
