<Abstract>The contemporary world is looking at the China-Taiwan issue as a challenge to democracy and international law. The Communist Party of China seeks to integrate Taiwan within its sovereignty, either peacefully or coercively by the year 2049. There is an overall disagreement to China’s approach mainly coming from the USA and its allies. Its strategic ambiguity in dealing with the China and Taiwan has, if anything, complicated peaceful resolution of the issues between these two. Even at the international stage, United Nations on its part tries to maintain formal relations with the PRC while unofficially promoting relations with Taiwan, thereby challenging the Chinese conception of ‘One China Principle’. The mainstream arguments appear to have taken a biased approach without examining China’s own interpretation of what the One China Principle entails. Using this as a focal point, the paper uses descriptive and analytical methods, relying upon primary and secondary data (such as official government documents), to encapsulate the Chinese arguments in order to evolve possible solutions to the China-Taiwan conflict. This empirical study concludes by looking at peaceful bilateral negotiations and compromise as the only way to reduce tension and conflict, keeping in mind the aspiration of the Taiwanese government and its people.</Abstract>
