While Taiwan’s authorities exercise de facto control, this does not grant the island independence nor change the fact it is part of China
For a start, Taiwan’s authorities are denied sovereign participation in the United Nations and other international organisations. Their participation in organisations such as the World Trade Organization, International Olympic Committee, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum and Asian Development Bank is permitted only with China’s consent and under appropriate formal designations, such as “Chinese Taipei” and the “separate customs territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu”. And its scope of participation is limited to non-political fields such as societal, economic and cultural.
