Looks like Taiwan is not an ITU member and has a space program, several active satellites and their own launch vehicle in the works.

> Taiwan is not an ITU member
"Taiwan, Province of China, is not listed separately in the UN M49 but included in China." [1]. It is an unofficial member, however, which is why you can dial +886 to get to Taiwan [2]. Practically speaking, with the U.S. providing Taiwan its security umbrella, enforcement mechanisms for a Taiwanese breach of ITU protocol would be straightforward.
