Is Taiwan actually a country?

Question: why so many countries defend Taiwan yet we cannot participate?

Maybe because Taiwan is not a country? I’ve said it before - unless world bodies like UN recognize it, nothing’s going to change. Trying to do an end run around the UN is not going to work. All these proposals by Australia and talk by Pompeo are hogwash. Why don’t they do what they actually can - bring up a resolution in the UNGA to formally recognize Taiwan. But ofcourse no one will do that starting with the US with its convenient strategic ambiguity on the issue.

Taiwan is a country. The UN no more than a mere club membership where countries can talk.

The UN doesn’t decide who is and is not a country.
