AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The Taiwan Policy Centre has 3 core aims:
INFORM
Raise awareness of the reality of the UK’s relationship with Taiwan and the key issues around Taiwan among policy makers, the media, and the British public.
EDUCATE
Provide a trustworthy resource for factual, English-language documentation, research, news, and briefings on all matters relating to Taiwan.
ADVOCATE
Advocate for closer and deeper political and trading relations between the UK and Taiwan with policy-makers, the media, and the British public.
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THESE AIMS?
We will seek to deliver on these three core objectives though a range of activities. These will include:
Conducting original research, and meeting with Taiwanese and British stakeholders
Speaking about Taiwan-related matters at appropriate external events and functions
Publication of reports, briefings, factsheets, analysis, opinion, and other documentation
Providing a prominent and reliable presence on social media & discourses on Taiwan
A range of media activity from interviews and media comments to op-eds
TOWARDS WHICH GOALS?
The Taiwan Policy Centre has a number of core policy objectives that will form a focal point to all the work that we do. These are policy priorities that we believe the UK Government should be seeking to adopt.
The UK Government should …
- COMMIT to supporting the US, Japan, and other allies in defending Taiwan in the event of an invasion by the People’s Republic of China.
- LEGISLATE to convey full diplomatic rights on the representatives of the Taiwanese Government in the UK.
- LEGISLATE to permit UK Ministers and Government Officials of all levels to visit Taiwan and communicate with the Taipei Representative Office in the UK.
- LIFT all restrictions on Taiwanese Government officials visiting the UK.
- TAKE further steps to permit British defence companies to sell equipment to Taiwan for the purposes of self-defence and to support Taiwan’s own domestic defence sector.
- INITIATE discussion on formal recognition of the Government of Taiwan in parity with recognising the Government of the PRC.
- TAKE whatever action necessary to include Taiwan in all international organisations regardless of whether statehood is a prerequisite.
- COMMENCE talks on a comprehensive free trade agreement between the UK and Taiwan.
In the course of our work, we also expect to make policy recommendations for other audiences, including civil and education bodies and official organs of the Taiwanese Government such as the Taipei Representative Office in the UK.
