戰後德國與中華民國外交關係的演變1945-1955

The Evolution of Diplomatic Relations between West Germany and Nationalist China, 1945-1955

自西元1941年7月國民政府對德國斷絕外交關係後，中德雙方源自30年代起建立的密切政治、經濟與外交關係再也未能重新恢復。1950年代初期，退守臺灣的國民政府試圖與新成立的聯邦德國（西德）恢復戰前的實質關係。然而，格於冷戰時期國際情勢，西德囿於「一個德國」政策，力圖避免在臺海兩岸主權爭議問題上明確選邊，因此，西德與臺灣的關係僅侷限於經貿、文化交流，無法在政治接觸上開啟實質的對話管道。

After Nationalist China severed diplomatic relations with Germany in the July of 1941, the close political, economic and diplomatic relations established since 1930s failed to resume again from then on. In early 1950s, the Nationalist government in Taiwan attempted to restore prewar substantial relationship with the newly formed the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). However, limited by its“One Germany'' policy, the West German government tried to avoid getting involved in the sovereignty dispute on the two sides of the Taiwan Straits. Except for the economic and cultural activities existing between these two countries, it was extremely difficult to set up any substantial political channels for dialogues.
