Why Australia and the US Won't Recognise Taiwan as Independent from China

Why does Australia recognise Palestine, but not Taiwan?Taiwan is a thriving democracy, home to 23 million people and the world’s leading producer of advanced microchips. It has its own government, its own military, and its own foreign policy. By every practical measure, it operates as an independent country.And yet — Australia, the United States, and most of the world refuse to officially recognise it. Instead, they continue to follow the One China Policy, acknowledging Beijing while keeping Taiwan in diplomatic limbo.This video explores the history of the One China Policy, why Australia and the U.S. haven’t abandoned it, Taiwan’s own preferences for its future, and what might happen if recognition ever did occur. Along the way, we look at the paradox of Australia recognising Palestine — even while it’s governed by Hamas, a listed terrorist organisation — but not Taiwan, one of the world’s strongest democracies.👉 Why does this double standard exist?👉 What would change if Taiwan were recognised?👉 And how long can this fragile balance hold before someone forces the issue?🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on strategy, security, and the big questions shaping Australia and the world.#Taiwan #OneChinaPolicy #Australia #USPolitics #TalkingTactics---Like the 3D printed models in the background?
