Abstract:
Taiwan, as the homeland of more than 23 millions of people, is one of the active participants of international affairs. However, under the pressure imposed by the PRC, Taiwan's road to the world is narrowed and the situation is getting worse. How come the international community would ever allow this to happen? Or, besides the PRC's aggressive territorial claim, there is something behind the disadvantageous situation faced by Taiwan? My research studies the issue of Taiwan's international legal status from the historical aspect and international law. By objectively examine and evaluation the actual legal status of Taiwan, the path for Taiwan to acquire an internationally recognizable legal status as an independent sovereign state is clear, and the answer lies in the right to external self-determination under the decolonization context.
