The Role of the Republic of China in the International Community

by Ray S. Cline (Editor)

The conference focused on the Republic of China on Taiwan as a substantial and powerful political entity. This subject is covered from many points of political, economic, military, and constitutional. The judgment common to all was that Taiwan is a sovereign state and a major player in the community of nations.

One of the government's most important accomplishments in its forty years on Taiwan is its movement towards democracy, with multi-party elections and human rights.

These judgments are well-founded on arguments presented by Chinese scholars and officials, who supported the idea that Taiwan was in a position to be accepted by the free world, capable of playing an equal role in reunifying the mainland under "One China."
