In February this year, the US State Department Fact Sheet on Taiwan dropped the phrase "we do not support Taiwan independence," which had been indicative of the United States' long-standing position on cross-Strait relations. China quickly rebuked the Trump Administration's move as a "regression" and "erroneous." Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's statements at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meeting that same month further indicated an American pivot away from security concerns in Europe and towards the Asia-Pacific.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has facilitated the creation of hyper-realistic yet entirely fabricated text, audio clips, videos, and images, commonly referred to as “deepfakes.” The emergence of deepfake technology has provided malicious actors with a potent tool for spreading propaganda, disseminating misinformation, damaging reputations, manipulating public perception, and eroding trust in institutions. This technology allows these groups to create highly realistic yet false narratives, posing a significant threat to both national and global security.

The Canadian elections held on April 28 have again elected a Liberal Party minority government. Considering that the Conservative Party had been leading national polls since mid-2023, the Liberals’ victory was a surprising upset aided by strained Canada-US relations. While the reelection of a Liberal government indicates that there will likely be an overall continuity in Canadian policies, there are still questions about the strength of cross-party support for Taiwan—and whether the current momentum towards closer Canada-Taiwan relations will continue.

Read our latest occasional report

The Global Taiwan Institute (GTI) is pleased to announce the publication of a new occasional report titled Taiwan’s Role in the Global Democracy Movement: Civil Society Innovation, Resilience, and Engagement. This report was written by GTI Director John Dotson, GTI Program Manager Adrienne Wu, GTI Program Assistant Ben Levine, and GTI Research Fellow Benjamin Sando.

Amid growing authoritarian threats, Taiwan continues to stand as a vibrant example of democratic resilience. In 2024, facing intensified political warfare from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP, 中國共產黨)—ranging from disinformation to economic coercion—Taiwan’s civil society has risen to the challenge. In events throughout the preceding year, GTI—supported by a generous grant from the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD, 臺灣民主基金會‬)—sought to explore these issues in greater detail, through both staff research and public seminars involving a range of expert voices, including civil society representatives from Taiwan. The findings of this research are summarized in this report.
