However the Indian government follow the so called ‘One China Policy’ of China, which means Taiwan is not a sovereign country, rather an integral part of People’s Republic of China.
Indians also come in support of Taiwan because India and Republic of China Taiwan shares a common belief of Democracy. Both countries respect free speech and citizens have the right to elect their leaders.
Unlike Taiwan, the People’s Republic of China has a repressive regime. Their citizens didn’t enjoy free speech or they have no rights to speak anything against Communist Party of China.
In present both the democratic is facing threat by Authoritarian China on borders.
