Petition HM Government should recognise Republic of China (TAIWAN) as an independent State

More details

Currently the British Government see Taiwan as a province of China, despite Taiwan's insistence it is independent.

The government of Taiwan are democratic and the people have shown their will, the UK should respect that.

Extract from FCO website;
"The People's Republic of China claims sovereignty over Taiwan and regards Taiwan as a province of China. The United Kingdom acknowledges the position of the Chinese Government that Taiwan is a province of China and recognises the Chinese Government as the sole legal government of China. The United Kingdom does not recognise Taiwan as a state and does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan."
