Taiwan and it's Independence

Taipei, Taiwan - Taipei 101 in the view.

Ms. Tsai had riled China with a historic phone call to Mr. Trump after his election. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday, Mr. Trump said he wasn’t committed to the 1979 agreement in which the U.S. effectively pledged to not recognize Taiwan as a separate country. ‪


President-Elect Trump’s congratulatory phone call with Tsai Ing-wen was the first time a president-elect, or president, has spoken to a Taiwan leader since 1979. The long gap was the result of the ‘One China Policy." as wsj reports.



              

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said on Sunday her trip to Central American allies and transit stops in the United States had elevated the island's international profile, as China hit back at U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for his remarks on the "one China" policy.

Beijing was also upset that Tsai was allowed to stop over in the United States on the arrival and departure legs of her trip to Central America the past two weekends, which it saw as a potential breach of the "one China" policy.

Under the nearly four-decade old policy, the United States has acknowledged China's position that there is only one China and Taiwan is part of China. It has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province to be reunified with the mainland one day.

"Our first objective (of this trip), was to consolidate our state friendships and allow Taiwan to walk on the international stage," Tsai said at Taiwan's international airport upon arrival on Sunday night.

She said she had bilateral talks with four heads of state in Central America. "We also grasped the opportunity during our short transit time in the United States to visit industries and talk with important people in America," Tsai said.

U.S. officials had said Tsai's transit stops were based on long-standing U.S. practice and Tsai's office had characterized her meetings on U.S. soil as private and unofficial. Reuters.

The PRC considers Taiwan as break-away province that oneday someday will be reunited with the mainland, but most of the people in Taiwan want to see their independence and be recognized as one nation. 

Taiwan, in 8th of August 2001, re-initiate the campaign to enter the United Nations; which the china opposed.

Here, we can see a nation trying it's hard to be recognized in the world as one nation.
