List of diplomatic missions in Taiwan
The diplomatic missions in Taiwan include embassies and representative offices. Due to the special political status and One-China policy, the Republic of China (Taiwan) is only recognized by 15 countries and Somaliland; all of them have an embassy in Taipei. In addition, approximately 50 countries, which do not have diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, have established trade offices and other unofficial offices in Taiwan, which have a wide array of titles.[1] However, due to opposition from People's Republic of China, the unofficial representative offices' titles do not have the word "Taiwan", except for unofficial representative offices from Oman, Japan, and the United States. [2] During the Japanese colonial period, a number of countries including the Republic of China and the United States of America maintained consulates in Taipei.[3]
