commonly known as
Taiwan,has full diplomatic
relations with 13 of the United
Nations member states and
with the Holy See (Vatican
City).

15. The ROC also maintains unofficial
relations with 58 UN member states,
one self-declared state (Somaliland),
three territories (Guam, Hong Kong,
and Macau), and the European Union
via its representative offices and
consulates under the One China
principle. Taiwan has the 31st largest
diplomatic network in the world with
110 offices

16. Historically, the ROC has required its
diplomatic allies to recognise it as the
sole legitimate government of "China"
(competing for exclusive use of the
name "China"), starting in the early 1970s
when the ROC was replaced by the PRC
as the recognised government of "China"
in the UN following Resolution 2758
including its key position such as a
permanent membership on the United
Nations Security Council.

Republic of China (PRC). In addition to the ad
tempus recognition of the ROC by a majority
of countries before UN Resolution 2758, the
ROC lost its membership in all
intergovernmental organisations related to
the UN.

Due to "the absence of a cross-strait understanding" (1992
consensus), the ROC has encountered international isolation due
to political and economic pressure from Mainland China since
the 1970s.

independence administration of the Democratic Progressive
Party and Taiwan is not allowed to attend World Health
Assembly, Interpol, International Civil Aviation Organisation,

possible international measures against the activities of Chinese
Taipei Olympic Committee, Golden Horse Film Festival and
Awards (boycotted), ban on Taiwan's journalist to acquire pass to
