The Taiwan Political Status refers to the debate as to whether Taiwan should be unified with China or officially declare its Independence as the Republic of Taiwan. Most countries maintain official relations with China while at the same time keeping de facto diplomatic ties with Taiwan. Most Taiwanese politicians support the maintenance of the status quo, treating Taiwan as a sovereign state and rejecting motions for an official declaration of Independence.
