Why South Africa Ordered Taiwan's Office Relocation—and Paths to Resolve the Standoff
Original language description
The South African government has called on Taiwan to relocate its representative office from the capital, Pretoria, to the commercial center of Johannesburg. While the South African government denies such claims, this shift is widely attributed to pressure from China. Since Tsai Ing-wen assumed office in 2016, Beijing has intensified efforts to undermine Taiwan’s official and unofficial relations with their countries, effectively ending the informal diplomatic truce established during the Ma Ying-jeou era. In the years since, China has successfully persuaded a number of Taiwan’s official diplomatic allies to switch allegiance, reducing the number of Taiwan’s formal allies from 22 in 2016 to just 12 today — 11 United Nations member states and the Holy See. However, China’s efforts extend further, as Taiwan’s engagement even with unofficial partners is often contingent on the state of relations between Beijing and the respective country.
