Abstract
On the basis of the 'one-China policy' which the Australian government has adopted since 1972, Australia does not have official diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan). However dealings through nongovernmental intermediaries and behind 'facades agreements' have developed a strong relationship with this island Republic and vice versa. For example, Taiwan was Australia's 5th largest export market in 2011. This paper offers an overview of the precarious yet robust Australia-Taiwan relationship. The focus extends beyond trade, cultural and people to people links. At the end. the paper examines the future of Australia -Taiwan relations in the context of the 2012 'Australia in the Asian Century' White Paper. This places the relationship in the context of the increasing power of mainland China and regional security uncertainties.
