Abstract
Abstract Until recently, both the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) claimed to represent ‘China’ in the international arena. The ROC on Taiwan recently abandoned this position, but the PRC government still regards itself as the sole legitimate ruler of all China, of which Taiwan is considered part. Beijing therefore insists that foreign countries choose between the two when establishing diplomatic ties. South Africa, which has formal relations with the ROC, should avoid making a choice by opting for dual recognition.
