KMT Vice-Chairman Andrew Hsia undertook a visit to China from February 26-March 3—his seventh visit since becoming party vice-chairman in 2021. Hsia’s trips represent a continuing effort by the KMT to maintain party-to-party contacts with the PRC’s ruling Communist Party. The DPP, the party of Taiwan President-elect William Lai, has also shown recent indications of potential efforts to open dialogue with the Chinese government.

Under the leadership of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the Philippines has returned to a policy of “hard balancing” against the People’s Republic of China. While Manila maintains a firm “One-China Policy,” recent coercive efforts on the part of Beijing could compel the Philippines to engage in enhanced dialogue with Taiwan.

While fostering engagement, Taiwan's social media landscape is rife with misinformation and echo chambers, which threaten democracy. In response, the government’s recent Digital Era Media Literacy Education White Paper has proposed a range of measures to promote media literacy education.

In recent years, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has greatly expanded its use of geoeconomic tools as part of its broader campaign to exert influence and reshape the global order. Perhaps predictably, Taiwan has faced the brunt of these efforts, forced to contend with a vast array of Chinese operations, from targeted trade barriers to large-scale economic infiltration campaigns. Despite Taiwan’s tireless efforts to push back against these tactics, Beijing’s geoeconomic policies could nevertheless pose substantial risks to the island’s economic and national security. Given Taiwan’s crucial role in global supply chains—particularly in the semiconductor sector—a threat to Taiwan represents a threat to the international economic system. 

Recognizing that the US-Taiwan partnership is the strongest safeguard against Beijing’s coercive economic policy, the report’s authors provide an in-depth survey of geoeconomic cooperation between Washington, Taipei, and other likeminded capitals, finding that such collaboration is currently insufficient to meet the threat posed by the PRC. In response, they offer a variety of recommendations intended to expand and formalize geoeconomic ties between the United States and Taiwan, with the aim of developing a comprehensive and enduring strategy for countering China’s challenge.
