Officially recognize the nation of Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China, as a sovereign state.

Created by J.C. on November 12, 2012

The United States of America should officially recognize the sovereignty of the nation of Taiwan.

The country of Taiwan has its own democratic government with an elected president. Taiwan has a flourishing trade economy with other Asian nations.

The People's Republic of China claim Taiwan as a "renegade province" and have previously threatened military force to prevent independence. In the current geo-political situation in the Pacific and Asia, it is essential for the United States of America to help fellow Asian democracies in their struggles.

Official recognition of Taiwan will put an end to the tensions between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China. With US support more nations may recognize Taiwan, even allowing Taiwan to rejoin the United Nations if enough support is achieved
