💨 Abstract

The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that South Africa's demand for Taiwan's representative office to leave Pretoria, amid ongoing negotiations, shows China's increased repression of Taiwan. The South African government has tried to downgrade the office and rename it a "trade office." Taiwan plans to maintain communication with South Africa based on principles of equality and dignity, while upholding its stance against unilateral changes to the status quo.
