    Radio Japan Reporter Yuka Nukina spoke with Mr. Yoshiyuki Ogasawara, associate professor at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies to comment on the relationship between Taiwan and China and President Chen's pro-independence stance.

    What exactly is Taiwan's status now?

    Taiwan is an independent state, whose name is called Republic of China. But I think its sovereignty is restricted by the international community. This is Taiwan's position today.

    Less than 30 countries throughout the world recognize Taiwan. So it's interesting to hear you refer to Taiwan as an independent state. What is your rationale in that?

    It's because Taiwan has its own territory, people and the government. Taiwan also keeps its own military, which is strong enough to defend the island. What Taiwan lacks is only international recognition, in particular recognition of countries like US and Japan.

    Please see Google for the full discussion.

    How can people think Taiwan is NOT separate? They have their own government and military and operate at their own discretion separate from China. I understand countries not "officially" recognizing them but that doesn't mean they are not their own Country.

    No, Taiwan is a state of china. After the end of the second world war, there was a civil war in china between the communists led by mao ze dong and the nationlists led by chiang kaishek. The communists won and chiang and his men fled to the chinese island of taiwan. Since then they have been running as a self titles indipendant country, known as the republic of china. But since the 1970 most nations have agreed they are part of the peoples repubic of china.
