[edit] Title

I have moved the article back to "Japan-Taiwan relations" as Japan does not recognise the Republic of China in any way. To talk about "ROC-Japan" relations is misleading, as there are no relations with the ROC. Japan has relations with the island known as "Taiwan" - no more.

  • Japan DOES have (unofficial) relations with the Republic of China, Smith. The ROC is a government. Japan in this context refers to the government. The ROC also governs Pescadores, Kinmen, and Matsu. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
If "Republic of China" is to be used, the "(Taiwan)" modifier needs to be included to lessen confusion about which country is being described. Many people don't know that the official name of Taiwan is "Republic of China" and might think the article has something to do with China. Readin (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Treaty of Taipei

This line "By recognizing the PRC, Japan nullified the Treaty of Taipei in relation to the Republic of China." looks to me like an attempt to argue a point, not an objective statement. Is there any reliable neutral source for it? I'm yanking it until such a source can be found.Readin (talk) 08:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
