Recognise Taiwan as part of China
Due to the One China policy the United Kingdom shouldn't recognise the Government of the Republic of China, officially or not.
It is time to face this. Taiwan is a part of China.
This is totally justifiable,because Taiwan has been merged into the domain of China since the 17th century.
It is only the divergence of ideology between the CCP(Chinese Communist Party) and the KMT at the first place which created a gap between the mainland and Taiwan.
As the UK government agrees the One China policy, it should be both officially and unofficially recognised that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, without any doubt.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government does not recognise Taiwan as a state and has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan, so it is not clear what action your petition is asking for.
