Since the end of the Chinese Civil War, the de facto territories of the Republic of China (Taiwan) are limited to the Taiwan Area. Meanwhile, the People's Republic of China (China) controls mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.

Therefore, the ROC does not recognize any territorial dispute settlement entered into by the PRC.
