Taiwan Japan sever diplomatic ties in 1972 switch
Japan cut official relations with Taiwan on September 29 1972 and established full ties with Communist China. The move drew Taiwan’s denunciations as perfidious while both nations kept unofficial trade offices and continued commerce. Kissinger noted Taiwan’s issue blocks a return visit by Mao and other Beijing officials, though talks about potential US China visits continued. The United States views Taiwan as sovereign while China sees it as part of its territory.
