The UK's longstanding position on Taiwan has not changed. The UK does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan but a strong unofficial relationship based on deep and growing ties in a wide range of areas and underpinned by shared democratic values. There is a longstanding pattern of senior visits between the UK and Taiwan, including many conducted independently of HMG.
