Taiwan rejects Beijing’s ‘one country, two systems’ plans for unification

Taiwan has flatly rejected a policy white paper issued by Beijing as highly unacceptable, saying cross-strait unification and “one country, two systems” would never be options for the self-ruled island.  

On August 11, 2022, Taiwanese foreign ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou said Taipei rejected the “one country, two systems” model and that only the government elected by the people could represent the people of Taiwan in the international community.
