Taiwan's Unsettled International Legal Status .

Travel alert issued before Vietnam rallies

             In  any  time   ,  The  Taiwan  Rlation  Act   ( TRA  )   and  existing  U.S. policy   will   be  changed   to   provide   a  framework   for   Taiwan's   full  autonomy   separate   from  Mainland   China  ,  or   Taiwan   Independence  .
            The  conflict  of  the   Taiwan   Relation  Act  and  the  Anti-Secession     Law (March, 14 ,2005 )  is    a  question  of   Taiwan   Legal   Status   .

Resurrecting Taiwan's "Unsettled" Status
The matter of Taiwan's international status vis-à-vis the United Nations is neither academic nor trivial. To counter Secretary-General Ban's edict, some State Department offices have begun to resurrect the long-standing agnostic undetermined/unsettled formula on Taiwan's international status. In June 2007, the State Department included the following phrase in standard letters to citizens concerned about Taiwan: The United States has "not formally recognized Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan and [has] not made any determination as to Taiwan's political status."[59]
This was the first time in 25 years that the State Department had expressed on paper that "the United States takes no position on the question of Taiwan's sovereignty."[60] However, a standard letter to concerned citizens was perhaps insufficient for the United Nations. In July 2007, the United States reportedly presented a nine-point demarche in the form of a "non-paper" to the U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs that both restated the U.S. position that it takes no position on the question of Taiwan's sovereignty and specifically rejected recent U.N. statements that the organization considers "Taiwan for all purposes to be an integral part of the PRC."
