國際關係

/guójì guānxi/Roman

English meaning: International Relations

Definition

The study and practice of relations between nations. Taiwan's unique international position — recognized formally by very few countries due to PRC pressure — makes it a fascinating case study in international law and diplomacy. The Taiwan Strait issue is a central concern in US-China-India strategic calculus.

Example

臺灣的國際關係因特殊地位而複雜多變。

In English: Taiwan's international relations are complex due to its unique status.
