Excerpt
India, following ‘One China’ policy, does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Diplomatic ingenuity, visible since the mid-Nineties, when India opened an office known as India-Taipei Association in Taipei, has led to the flourishing economic and cultural relationship between India and Taiwan.

These countries, which include the United States, western European, Japan, Australia and many others, follow ‘One China’ policy.
