Most countries that MANUFACTURE goods use the Taiwan provence as a convenient place to CONTRACT with the hectic Chinese mainland. Taiwan is NOT a country and never will be (it's the little place the Nationalists ran off to when they lost the war, DUH!) , but it will retain its autonomy until Mainland China can do bussiness in an organised way. Most large manufaturers in developed countries use Taiwan to gain access to Mainland China's awesome production capabilities.

Foreign Relations

The Republic of China (ROC) is a sovereign state with a population of 23 million and a defined territory consisting of the islands of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and various other smaller islands. Since establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been governed separately, with neither effectively subject to the other’s rule.

Allies and Friends

The ROC maintains its own national defense and conducts its own independent foreign policy. It has full diplomatic relations with 27 countries and substantive ties with more than 140 others.

To further the aims of pragmatic diplomacy and mutual interest, the ROC continues its endeavors to establish diplomatic ties or enhance its relations with the rest of the world’s countries. Eighty-nine representative offices or branch offices are maintained in the capitals and major cities of 57 countries. Although these offices carry various names such as Taipei Representative Office, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, or Trade Mission of the Republic of China, they all perform the majority of the functions of embassies and consulates general.

Similarly, 46 of the countries that do not have formal diplomatic relations with the ROC, nevertheless also have established representative offices or visa-issuing centers in Taiwan.

Singapore had maintained unofficial relations with both the ROC and the PRC before 1992. After the establishment of diplomatic ties between Singapore and the PRC on October 3, 1992, it continues to maintain close economic and military ties with the ROC as part of its attempt to position itself as a neutral party to both sides. This is, however, a diplomatically delicate situation which has flared up occasionally.
