  abstract     = {{Confusion reigns not only in Europe toward Taiwan, but also in Taiwan toward Europe. Especially the cross-Strait position of the EU, which does not recognize Taiwan due to ‘its “one China” policy’ but has over the last two decades increased the scope of engagement with Taiwan, is little understood. As exchanges between Brussels and Taipei intensify, there is an increasing urgency to consolidate the EU’s position on Taiwan. Taking political developments over the last several decades into account, this article argues that no zero-sum choice between Beijing and Taipei should have to be made. Explicit clarification of the EU's previously rather implicit position to de jure uphold ‘one China,’ while gradually normalizing the de facto existence of Taiwan on the world stage is entirely in line with the Union’s foreign policy guideline of ‘principled pragmatism. Consolidating the cross-Strait status quo while gradually normalizing warranted Taiwanese engagement abroad should be concretized as Brussels’ Taiwan policy.}},
