The article deals with the unresolved question of Taiwan´s problematic status and focuses in particular on its impact on the security in the Taiwan Strait which is related to the character of the triangular relations between Taiwan, the People´s Republic of China and the United States. At first, the article provides an overview of the historical development of Taiwan´s legal status issued from „two Chinas dilemma”. Afterwards, it concentrates on the particular interests of Taipei, Beijing and Washington in the Taiwan Strait, their interpretation of „one China policy” and their approach towards the Taiwan issue. The objective of the analyses is to deter-mine the risk of confrontation in the Taiwan Strait according to different intentions and policies implemented by each of the concerned parties.
