Is ROC (Republic of China) presently considered a sovereign country by the United Nations?

The Republic of China on Taiwan is not a sovereign nation. According to international law, four criteria are generally required (1) defined territory, (2) permanent population, (3) government, and (4) the capacity to conduct foreign relations.





However, most researchers overlook the fact that these criteria have to be more than just physically present, they have to conform to ';legal standards.'; Based on any reasonable definition of legal requirements, the ROC on Taiwan has neither defined territory nor a permanent population.





This is because in the post-war peace treaty of April 28, 1952, Japan renounced the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan, but the ROC was not designated as the ';receiving country.'; Hence, the ROC does not have any legal claim to ';territorial title'; of Taiwan. Without such a claim, there is also no legal basis for considering that native Taiwanese persons are ROC citizens.





In fact, mass naturalization of native Taiwanese persons as ';ROC citizens'; in Taiwan is based on a January 1946 order by the ROC military authorities. Under international law, the surrender of Japanese troops on Oct. 25, 1945, merely marks the beginning of the military occupation of Taiwan, and mass naturalization of the local civilian populace under such circumstances is a war crime.Is ROC (Republic of China) presently considered a sovereign country by the United Nations?
