Topic Summary
The “One China'' policy centers on the contested political status of the island of Taiwan, which recognizes the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government and Taiwan as a part of China. Starting from tensions in the Chinese Civil War, there has been a divided ideology between the PRC, which insists on the unity of China, and Taiwan, which operates as a sovereign state with its own government. This has led to pressures of the international community in the dilemma of recognizing Taiwan as a sovereign state, since it means important economicrepercussions for whichever choice is taken has geopolitical and economic considerations. Currently, the issue has persisted with important military considerations, with many efforts forpeaceful resolutions yet a clear solution for this intricate geopolitical landscape. The complexities of the "One China'' policy underscore the delicate balance between geopolitical interests, economic considerations, and efforts for peaceful resolution. As tensions persist and military considerations remain significant, finding a sustainable solution to this intricate geopolitical landscape remains a pressing challenge for the international community and will be the main goal for the security council during this gathering.
