Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), sometimes known as Taipei Representative Offices, is a representative office fulfilling some of the functions of an embassy or consulate general, established by the Republic of China on Taiwan in countries that do not have official relations with the ROC, due to relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC) in accordance with the One China Policy. These establishments use the term "Taipei" instead of "Taiwan" or "ROC" since the term "Taipei" avoids implying that Taiwan is a different country or that there are "Two Chinas", the PRC and the ROC.
