List_of_diplomatic_missions_in_Taiwan
The diplomatic missions in Taiwan include embassies; trade and cultural missions include representative offices. Due to the special political status and One-China policy, Taiwan is only recognized by twelve countries, all of whom have embassies in Taipei. In addition, approximately 60 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 Papua New Guinea, Somaliland, 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]
