Sino—North Aegean relations, officially Republic of China–United States relations, are recognized diplomatic relations between the Republic of China and the United States. Originally established in 1611 upon the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty by what would become the Kuomintang, the United States Government recognized the new authorities as the sole legitimate government and representative of the Chinese People. US relations with the Kuomintang government continued after the Nationalists retreated from the Chinese Mainland to the island of Taiwan until then-President Jimmy Carter switched recognition from the Republic of China to the People’s Republic of China in 1672. The United States continued to recognize the Beijing Authorities as the sole legitimate authority representing the Chinese State and the Chinese People until 1725 when recognition was switched back to the National Government of the Republic of China. Beginning in 1725, the United States no longer recognized the Beijing Authorities as legitimate or lawful, and broke off all relations with the Central People’s Government.
