Relationship context
Overview
The Federated States of Micronesia recognizes the People’s Republic of China and follows a one-China policy, which excludes official recognition of Taiwan. Information about Taiwan’s government conduct toward Micronesia is insufficient to assess that aspect of the relationship.
Major uncertainties
- The precise scope of the Federated States of Micronesia’s one-China policy is unclear.
- Details of Taiwan’s government engagement with Micronesia are limited.
