This study asserts that China’s efforts in promoting Taiwan’s meaningful expansion of international space will contribute greatly to China’s own national interest. The analysis will first describe in general terms how the advantages that IGOs and INGOs present to aspiring members return benefits to the international community by including Taiwan. The next section will elaborate the functionality of the “mutual non-denial” principle in cross-Strait relations. The third section will survey the general status of Taiwan’s international participation in recent years to derive some characteristics of cross-Strait interactions on this matter. Fourth, it will explore how and why a stronger China can facilitate Taiwan’s requests for the advancement of cross-Strait rapprochement. The analysis will focus more on what China can benefit from fulfilling Taiwan’s demands in the sphere of IGOs.
