Great Powers Foreign Policy Analysis USA Policy on China- Taiwan Relations

The United States of America has had a swing of roller coaster relations with China, with several issues of dissonances, especially in the last decade. There have been several stand-offs on matters pertaining to political and technological supremacy, in areas of science and technology, military, space, nuclear and arms and weapons supremacy, and the latest to add to the list was the covid-19 pandemic, that the Trump government nonchalantly held the Chinese guilty for. Relations of US with Taiwan have been comparative smooth, if not formally but on several social and political and non-official matters. With the China- Taiwan clashes over recognition as an independent democracy as claimed by Taiwan, and as a part of the Chinese territory as per the Chinese Communist party government growing over time, the US has a major role to be steadfast in its foreign policy and give support to the Nations, which is more biased to the Taiwan side as the US has mostly shown.

The China – Taiwan Dispute

It was not before the twentieth century that an iota of interest for the small Taiwan ever emerged for China, and the former was even called the Republic of China with its emergence as a part of the Chinese territory on the other side of the Taiwan strait. The Taiwanese initially appreciated the Chinese control but after the second world war and later following the Chinese civil war the scenario changed. The consequences of the civil war paved a major political upheaval in the Nation boundaries. The victorious Communists governed the mainland China while the defeated Nationalists moved to Taiwan. Ever since the possession of the island state is a bone of contention While Taiwan is successfully emerging as an independent nation with many countries recognizing it, China has always been candid that Taiwan is an inseparable part of its territory and they won’t hesitate to use military power against the latter if Taiwan ever declares itself as an independent state. China has always considered itself as a superior power compared to the South Asian counterparts including Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos and Philippines.
