It sits in the so-called &#8220;first island chain&#8221;, which includes a list of US-friendly territories that are crucial to US foreign policy. It is the 5th largest economy in Asia and a global leader in Integrated Circuit Chip manufacturing. Taiwan is a member of WTO and Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC) under the name of \u201cChinese Taipei\u201d. Currently, only 13 countries recognise Taiwan as a sovereign country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasons behind the China-Taiwan stand-off:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) always maintain that Taiwan as an inalienable part of mainland China and consider Taiwan as a breakaway province. To prove that the People\u2019s Republic of China introduced \u201c<strong>One country Two systems approach\u201d and \u201cOne China Policy\u201d.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>There is a <strong>diplomatic shift<\/strong> in the policy of the US and Taiwan. In recent years US engaged with Taiwan and supporting Taiwan\u2019s membership to World Health organisation (WHO).<\/li>\n<li>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) recorded a market share of just over 53 percent in the <strong>global semiconductor<\/strong> <strong>market<\/strong>. Hence China claims Taiwan.<\/li>\n<li>Relations between Taiwan and China appear to have deteriorated sharply following United States House Speaker\u2019s visit to Taipei, which Beijing condemned as &#8220;extremely dangerous&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Lessons India can learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>growing economic and trading relationship<\/strong> between India and China does not ensure that tensions between the two sides do not escalate. As the close economic relationship with China (dependent on the semiconductors produced in Taiwan) has not stopped Taiwan from asserting its rights, nor has it backed down under Chinese threats.<\/li>\n<li>India should\u00a0<strong>learn the importance of articulating red lines and sovereign positions<\/strong>in an unambiguous manner like Taiwan. Any absence of such clarity will be cleverly utilised by China to push Indian limits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appeasement of China<\/strong>, Taiwan knows, is not the answer to Beijing\u2019s aggression. China today is a revisionist power, challenging the regional order and is intent on using force to meet its strategic objectives. With such a power, appeasement might work in the short term, but will invariably backfire over the long term. So, India for sure should do business with China, but not on China\u2019s own terms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite there is an ongoing tussle between China and Taiwan, India being Non-aligned with any one of them. India is continuing a mutual relationship with Taiwan without harming the relationship with China. It is high time for China to respect the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction:\u00a0Contextual introduction.
