Taiwan's Strategic Diplomacy in a Tense Environment

Taiwan's president intends to challenge the current geopolitical status quo with a diplomatic trip to the Pacific Islands and U.S. territories. The trip is seen as a crucial opportunity to strengthen Taiwan’s international presence at a time when diplomatic ties with other nations are dwindling. The air defense exercises conducted by Taiwan's military serve as a powerful reminder of its readiness to confront any potential aggression from China. There is a clear link between this strategy and the growing tensions surrounding Taiwan's relationship with China, indicating Taiwan's determination to assert its sovereignty.
