Page "One-China policy" Paragraph 34

# The two sides of the Strait have different opinions as to the meaning of " one China.

" To Beijing, " one China " means " the People's Republic of China ( PRC )," with Taiwan to become a " Special Administrative Region " after unification.

Taipei, on the other hand, considers " one China " to mean the Republic of China ( ROC ), founded in 1912 and with de jure sovereignty over all of China.

The ROC, however, currently has jurisdiction only over Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu.

Taiwan is part of China, and the Chinese mainland is part of China as well.
