The so-called "Kokaryo Case", popularly called the "Guanghualiao An" in Chinese, is the case filed by the Republic of China in Japan that attracted much attention and dispute since delicate issues such as the recognition of the Chinese government and the juridical status of the Taiwan authorities were involved. This note briefly overviews the 27 March 2007 Japanese Supreme Court judgment in this case and provides some tentative comments on its nature and implications.
