Published on 27 May 1971

The Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of Austria decided in accordance with the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-interference in internal affairs and equality and mutual benefit, with the efficacy of 28 May 1971 to recognize each other, to establish diplomatic relations and appoint, within six months of each ambassador.

"Austria adheres to one-China policy: Chancellor(03/10/04)

   VIENNA, March 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel reiterated here on Tuesday that his country adheres to the one-China policy. 

   Speaking to reporters following the weekly cabinet meeting, Schuessel also expressed his government's concern over the March 20 "referendum" in Taiwan. 

   Earlier, Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Weiss said that Austria, like all other members of the European Union, alwaysupholds the one-China policy and considers the Taiwan issue as an internal affair of China. 

   In a written interview with Xinhua, Weiss said that Austria will watch closely the situation across the Taiwan Strait."

AND:

": The China-Austria Relations encountered difficulties after the Austrian Prime Minister Gusenbauer met with Dalai in last September. It's learned that the Austrian Prime Minister Gusenbauer met with the Chinese Ambassador to Austria recently. Can you brief on the meeting?

A: The Austria Prime Minister Gusenbauer met with Wu Ken, the Chinese Ambassador to Austria in the Federal Chancellery on May 2. During the meeting, Prime Minister Gusenbauer said that Austria attaches great importance to its relations with China, sticks to the One-China principle and recogonizes Taiwan and Tibet as part of the Chinese territory. Prime Minister Gusenbauer said that the China-Austria relations enjoy sound traditions and great potential. He hopes that the bilateral relations can be further deepened and intensified. We appreciated Prime Minister Gusenbauer's above-mentioned comments. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the friendly relations and cooperation between China and Austria. It stands ready to make joint efforts with Austria to fully understand and accommodate major concerns of each other, handle differences properly and press ahead with the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations in light of the principle of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit."[1]

Cyprus, Georgia, and Armenia

Cyprus is NOT part of Asia nor the Middle East. It is a part of Europe and the European Union. With a Greek-Cypriot population of 80%, majority Greek Orothox religion and Greek language there is NOTHING Middle Eastern about this island nation. Please refrain from placing it in Middle East category as it is NOT Middle Eastern. Same goes for Georgia and Armenia. Both are technically part of Europe as they lie north of the Caucus Mountain range. Anything south is considered part of Asia. Georgia is a possible candidate for EU Membership and Armenia has expressed interest in joing the organization within the next decade. Please refrain from adding these two former Soviet Republics with overall Christian populations to the Middle East. If you have something to discuss, do so on this page.

With regards to the Turkish Republic of Nortern Cyprus, no nation on earth recognizes that country except Turkey. Turkey realizes that it's recognition of this country will affect its chances of joining the European Union. --XLR8TION (talk) 20:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
