Talk:Foreign relations of Taiwan

message: The section on states that have full diplomatic relations with Taiwan/ROC has most of those states marked with an asterisk (*). This asterisk is never used for any kind of footnote or qualification that I can see. Why is it there? --71.183.40.220 (talk) 20:21, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Asterisks? 

message: I did a round of copy editing on the article. It was full of references to "Republic of China" and "People's Republic of China". The "ROC" has this policy, and the "PRC" has that policy, etc. I don't think any mainstream English-language source uses the terminology this way. When discussing the pre-1971 period, the terminology "Nationalist China" and "Red China" is sometimes used. For more recent times, there is "Taiwan", and there is "China", and no RS calls them anything else. So I have made appropriate revisions. Kauffner (talk) 12:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent edits 

message: Though the term 'Taiwan' is sometimes used when referring to a government or legal entity on Taiwan, this is incorrect and doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Republic of China (ROC) is the official legal name, and should be used when referring to a government or legal entity. Check the official web page of ROC http://www.taiwan.gov.tw/mp.asp?mp=999 that it calls itself "Republic of China (Taiwan)". No government has recognized 'Taiwan' as a government. Wikipedia shouldn't be involved in creative usage of terms, or whether Taiwan is a state. Wikipedia should use official names, especially when it comes to diplomatic relations, which emphasizes formality.
'Taiwan' can be used to refer to a region.
I have made copy editing to reflect this usage, but it may be incomplete. Please help to make it more complete.

replies: text: This comes across as especially strange when it refers to countries "recognizing Taiwan" - when in fact they do no such thing; they simply recognize a different government of China than the one in Beijing. The difference here is more than semantic, given the ongoing disputes between pro-independence, pro-status-quo, and pro-unification elements in ROC-administered areas, and we should probably figure out a consensus on how to handle this.

thread_title:  "ROC" should be used when referring to a government or legal entity 

message: The listing on this article and the one at Foreign relations of China, stating which countries recognise which China, are different, and both lack sources. The only reason why I'm mentioning this is because the information has been added to the UN-related articles for the Holy See, Marshall Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. So please settle this before taking the info, and any possible edit-warring to other articles. Thank you. --\color{Blue}\mathcal{M}\color{Blue}\vec{( e\ ,}\color{Blue}t ) 10:20, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello from the Guild of Copyeditors. :)  I selected this article to work on during the September copyediting drive of the GOCE.  I've just started, and so far have made only a few minor changes to the lede.  I'll be working on it over the next several days, and will upload my edits in batches.  I'm signing off for the night right now, but I'll be back tomorrow.  Comments, pitchforks, and WP:TROUTs are welcome as I work.  Livit⇑Eh?/What? 01:26, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I've seen in this article different counts for the number of states recognizing the ROC from twenty-one to twenty-three. Can someone check up on this and make sure that the article is consistent with a verified current count. - Metal lunchbox (talk) 04:56, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed a few statements that have been tagged as needing citations since 2010. I think 5 years is more than enough time for contentious statements to stay on Wikipedia with no one coming forward to cite support for them. If someone can identify appropriate sources for these statements, then of course they should be put back in. Benjamin Hurst (talk) 21:47, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Statements about territories claimed by ROC 

message: " In 1952, Taiwan was ceded by Japan in the Treaty of San Francisco.".
This statement, without clarification,  would be quite misleading to someone not well-informed on the subject.    The departure of the Japanese from Korea and Taiwan ( and other places ),  was a mandatory stipulation of Japan's "unconditional surrender" in August 1945.  I'm not too sure who was in charge in 1946 (maybe the americans),  but the "Nationalist" chinese goverment took actual control of Taiwan in 1947,  a situation which caused a lot of violence with people already in Taiwan,  who might have been pro-independence or pro-communist.  Taiwan had never been a part of the Chinese Republic before that,  as it was taken over by Japan before the 1911 revolution.  There was further disruption after another million or so Nationalist chinese supporters went to Taiwan in 1949.
The "Treaty of San Fransisco",  which finalised the war between Japan and the US and most of it's allies, was a formality.
As it currently reads,  the less-well-informed reader might get the impression that Taiwan was part of Japan until 1952,   which really isn't true.Lathamibird (talk) 06:43, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Bahrain is listed twice in this document: the first as Entities with non-diplomatic representation in Taiwan, the second as Entities with no representation in Taiwan. 
I checked and Taiwan has non-diplomatic relations with Barhain, since there is a ROC Trade Mission in Manama (capital of Bahrain). 
Should Bahrain be removed from the second list?

message: Bolivia has a non-diplomatic representation in Taiwan, not listed here (search for: Representative Office of Bolivia in Taipei).
I didn't find anything regarding Sri Lanka, I guess they don't have any relation with ROC, but it is not listed. The same goes for South Sudan, no relations found.

thread_title:  Please correct Panama section typo 

message: I propose to remove the second sentence in the lead, 
"These diplomatic relations do not constitute an international acceptance of Taiwan as a state, but rather represent a recognition of the ROC government as the representative of "China", which means that in the perspective of these countries, the Republic of China is "China", rather than the People's Republic of China."
Reason:
This is outdated, here are some quotes of Taiwan's diplomatic allies in the United Nations general assembly 
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: "Taiwan is not seeking to represent China as the Government of Chiang Kai-shek did in 1971. The democratically elected Government of Taiwan in this day and age seeks to represent only Taiwan and its 23 million people"
- Tuvalu: "Taiwan is a country with a well and clearly defined territory and an established democratic system of Government"
- Marshall islands:"Taiwan is a sovereign State in which 23 million people have democratically elected representatives to their Government. "
- Nauru: "Taiwan has no intention of representing the People’s Republic of China. Taiwan is a free and peace-loving sovereign State, and its democratically elected Government is the sole legitimate Government of their island State. " Visaliaw (talk) 00:58, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Not quite convinced, tbh. BBC talks about Taiwan losing diplomatic allies. - ChrisWar666 (talk) 02:19, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your BBC article says "Only 15 countries recognise Taiwan as a sovereign nation", while the sentence in the Wikipedia article says in the perspective of those 15 countries with diplomatic relations with Taiwan, they do not recognise Taiwan as a state but a representative of China instead, which is contradictory.--Visaliaw (talk) 03:19, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, unfortunately here at wikipedia we need WP:Reliable Sources to state something, that sentence does have a WP:Ref. We don't allow WP:Synthesis so the separate quotes wouldn't work. As it says up top, this article is controversial, and I don't know enough to properly address your request, so I'm leaving it up for now for someone else to close (which they will, unless there's a reliable source). - ChrisWar666 (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The cited source is published 2001 and my quotes are from 2007. An outdated source makes it no longer reliable so we could remove the sentence. Alternatively, we could change it into "Historically, ROC's diplomatic allies recognized it as a representative of China, but now they recognize Taiwan as a sovereign nation.", and add citation of your BBC source.--Visaliaw (talk) 04:57, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

text: Not done for now:  This claim requires no less than 30 separate references because the claim that is being made is that 15 separate nations first recognized it as a Representative of China (REP) and 'now' 15 separate nations recognize it as a sovereign nation (SOV). Since the most authoritative source on how a country views another country is that country's own government, this means that for each instance when a claim is made that one country views another as being REP then SOV will need two references originating from that country's government stating both of those facts (or only one, in the fortuitous possibility that a country chose to place both statements in a single reference)  Spintendo  14:41, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I am going to modify this page, since there are no 15 separate references to support the current sentence in the article, saying those countries recognizes it as a Representative of China, and there are some contradictory sentences.--Visaliaw (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 1 December 2019 

message: Combined with the list of when nations switched to recognising the PRC is a series of images of former embassies in Nanjing. Several of these include incorrect national adjectives, namely the "Soviet Union Embassy" and the "United Kingdom Embassy". A case can be made to keep the "United States Embassy" in favour of the American Embassy, but Soviet and British embassies are considered the correct description.

message: In the "countries with full diplomatic relations" subsection, several different schemes have been proposed to categorize countries, often with confusing and misleading results (not to mention the sloppy layout). First of all, it makes little sense to break countries into so many categories (so that we have no less than three world regions with just one entry on them: Europe (Holy See), Africa (Eswatini), and South America (Paraguay). Secondly, why use labels such as "West Indies", which are unlikely to be recognized by a majority of readers? I suggest using only one category for all the states in the Americas, and label it as such. No need for so much problematic detail. Ladril (talk) 01:20, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, there's no need to standardise all Foreign relations articles into arbitrary and often meaningless continent categorisations, let alone even smaller ones. CMD (talk) 02:11, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Sorting North America into Central America and West Indies may be too specific, but merging both Americas is not helpful to who I am assuming are the majority of the readers of this page—Westerners and Taiwanese. "The Americas" may see common usage in other languages, in countries in Central and South America, but this is not the case in the majority of the English-speaking world. Actually, I think this is where the confusion comes from, as the IP editor(s) that keep changing North America's count to zero may think that North America only means Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs the countries in the Americas as "Latin America and the Caribbean". Most lists of countries on Wikipedia go by the seven continents, so I think reverting to such categorisation would be the best choice. CentreLeftRight ✉ 04:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it looks like the article isn't consistent to begin with. Not sure why "Arab World" is separate from "Asia" in other parts of the article. CentreLeftRight ✉ 05:06, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Because being an Arab state is often more relevant for diplomacy than however a country is sorted into various continental systems. CMD (talk) 06:00, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Here you are actually creating a category for just one state (Paraguay). This is exactly what I'm saying we should be avoiding. This being a short list (15 states), it should be as simple as possible (simple=fewer categories). Basically you are just inviting future editors to break down the Americas again into three or more subregions (and ending up with several categories with 3-4 states each). Again, why do we exactly would need nine categories to sort out 15 list entries? This is unnecessary and unhelpful as far as this article is concerned. It might be helpful in other Wikipedia lists, but I don't see how it makes this one any good. As far as the other lists on the page go, I think a very good case could be made to also join North and South America together; why would we want an Africa category with 51 entries and two America categories with three entries each? Finally, I'm not convinced by your assertion that "The Americas is not common usage in the English-speaking world" when there is a Wikipedia article on the Americas to begin with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas  Ladril (talk) 16:35, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've sorted it by date, which is far more relevant to the topic than country location. To the extent that some countries are discussed together, I've read quite a bit grouping the Pacific states together (although not Oceania as a whole as the articles discuss poorer states only), but that doesn't provide a reason to split up a short list.

message: I (user Tekle Mariam) would like to draw attention to the vandalism of the user 2a02:908:113e:f4a0:44f:f6ea:f3b5:b766, who repeatedly edited the article Foreign relations of Taiwan with the insertion of false information without source, that Nicaragua ended diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan) in 2021. He committed the same vandalism in the article Foreign relations of Nicaragua. After my removal of his edits in both articles and my adding of citation of source in reference proving the existing diplomatic relations between Nicaragua and the Republic of China (Taiwan) in 2021, he repeatedly undid my edits and intimidated me (see Foreign relations of Taiwan: Revision history - edits on 5 February 2021).

message: I've noticed that Bangladesh doesn't have direct non-diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Rather, it is represented through India and Thailand. Meanwhile, Estonia is similarly represented through Latvia. Overall, there are several countries that have similar such arrangements, but some of them have been included within the list whereas others haven't. One of the other excluded countries seems to be Belarus, for example, which is represented through Russia, according to some other articles on Wikipedia. Another excluded country is Pakistan, which is represented through Hong Kong. On the topic of Hong Kong, it and Macau are both technically parts of the PRC, which means that Taiwan has relations with parts of the PRC but not with the mainland of the PRC (i.e. mainland China); this is why I've added the PRC to the list but haven't included it within the number of states.

message: Taiwan's unofficial embassy has opened in Lithuania on 18 November 2021 (i.e. today), from what I can tell. The official Twitter account of the "Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania" (@TW_in_LT) has today tweeted a photograph of what looks to be Taiwanese representatives standing outside the newly-opened Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania with signs that include the date "2021 - 11/18". The @TW_in_LT official Twitter account was created in July of 2021. I had previously pre-emptively added Lithuania to the list of countries with unofficial relations with Taiwan a few days ago; relations had been announced but not finalised at that time. The total number of countries with unofficial relations with Taiwan seems to be 58 UN member states plus Somaliland at the present time. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 10:18, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
