Key Findings
主要發現

‧ Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen continues to pursue a crossStrait policy of
maintaining the status quo in the face of actions by Beijing that have
increased pressure on Taiwan and instability in the Strait. Over the past
year, Beijing increased actions to pressure and isolate Taiwan, while
advancing unilateral efforts to deepen cross-Strait economic and social
integration, including actions that Taiwan viewed as threatening to its
sovereignty. To these ends, Beijing enticed three of Taiwan’s diplomatic
partners to terminate official relations with Taiwan, pressured U.S. and
other foreign companies to identify Taiwan as part of the People’s Republic
of China (PRC) on their websites, and treated Taiwan as PRC-governed
territory by unilaterally activating new flight routes near the island.



‧ China is also intensifying its political warfare activities in Taiwan.
Beijing has employed a variety of tactics seeking to undermine Taiwan’s
democracy, and the Tsai Administration, in particular including supporting
opposition political parties and spreading disinformation using social media
and other online tools.

‧中國也加強了在台政戰活動。北京採取各種手段，試圖破壞台灣的民主政治，打擊蔡政
府，特別是支持在野政黨，以及利用社群網站和其他網路工具散佈不實資訊。

‧ The threat to Taiwan from China’s military posture and modernization
continues to grow, and Beijing has increased coercive military activities to
intimidate Taipei. In response, Taiwan has taken initial, but significant,
steps to enhance its defensive capabilities by adopting a new defense
strategy, increasing its emphasis on asymmetric capabilities, ats nd
increasing procurement from idomestic defense industries and the United
States. It also continues its decade-long transition to an all-volunteer
force.



‧ As part of a strategy of “resolute defense, multi-layered deterrence”
 introduced by the Tsai Administration, Taiwan’s new Overall Defense Concept
aims to exploit Chinese military vulnerabilities and capitalize on Taiwan’s
defensive strengths by focusing on three areas: (1) preservation of
warfighting capability, (2) pursuing decisive victory in the littoral area,
and (3) annihilating the enemy on the beach. However, the success of the new
strategy faces a major challenge from the scale and speed of China’s People’
s Liberation Army’s continued growth.

‧作為蔡政府的「防衛固守，重層嚇阻」戰略一環，新的整體防衛構想（Overall


‧ Taiwan remains reliant on China as its largest trading partner and
destination for foreign investment, making it vulnerable to economic coercion
and political pressure from Beijing. President Tsai has prioritized several
domestic initiatives—including the “5+2” Innovative Industries program and
Forward-looking In-frastructure Program—to strengthen key engines of Taiwan’
s economy and spur innovation and job creation. Meanwhile, Taiwan continues
to pursue the New Southbound Policy to diversify its economic ties in South
and Southeast Asia and reduce its reliance on the Chinese economy.



‧ U.S.-Taiwan relations are strong, with the unanimous passage and
presidential signing of the Taiwan Travel Act, a public visit to Taiwan by a
senior official from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of East Asian and
Pacific Affairs, and the dedication of the American Institute in Taiwan’s
new office complex in Taipei. Although Taiwan continues to prioritize
economic relations with the United States, discussions over longstanding
issues in the relationship (such as beef and pork market access restrictions)
remain stalled.
