Her Majesty\u2019s Government\u2019s long-standing policy on Taiwan has not changed. The Government refers to Taiwan as simply \u201cTaiwan\u201d and, when included in a list of places, does so under an inclusive heading, such as \u201ccountry/territory\u201d or \u201cworld locations\u201d. When guidance has been sought from HMG on the terminology to use, we have been clear about the British Government\u2019s terminology for Taiwan.<\/p>

Private companies and organisations should be able to decide the terminology that they use to list destinations. UK companies should not be placed under political pressure to make changes. FCO Officials have registered our concern with the Chinese Government on this point.<\/p>

We regularly make representations to China on the freedom of operation of UK private enterprises and organisations, including pressing for a level playing field. Our engagement with China aims to enhance market access, improve the business environment for all, and enhance the scope for people-to-people exchanges. Our experience is that freedom of expression and assembly, and the rule of law, are vital underpinnings for long-term prosperity and stability. We believe that, by having a strong relationship with China, we are able to have open discussions on a range of difficult issues.<\/p>
