The Republic of China ( ROC), commonly known as Taiwan, is a state in East Asia comprising the island of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other minor islands, which are located off the east coast of China. Neighboring countries include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west, Japan to the north-east, and the Philippines to the south. The Republic of China was established in 1912 and used to encompass much of mainland China and Mongolia. At the end of World War II, with the surrender of Japan, the Republic of China added the island groups of Taiwan and Penghu to its jurisdiction. When the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party at the head of the ROC, lost the civil war to the Communist Party in 1949, the ROC government relocated to Taiwan and established Taipei as its temporary capital[11] declaring the ROC still to be the legitimate Chinese government-in-exile[12][neutrality is disputed] while the Communists founded the People's Republic of China in mainland China. Taiwan, and other minor islands, then became the extent of the Republic of China's authority. During the early Cold War the ROC was recognized by many Western nations and the United Nations as the sole legitimate government of China. It was a founding member of the United Nations[13] and one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council until 1971, when it was replaced by the PRC. The PRC regards the ROC as an illegitimate state; it seeks to unify Taiwan with mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau and is ready to use force if necessary. This tension between the two states colors most the political life in Taiwan, and any attempt at declaring formal independence is met with threats from the PRC.[14] The PRC refuses to have diplomatic relations with countries which recognize the Republic of China; thus as of 2010, only 23 have formal diplomatic relations with the ROC.
