This chapter examines the external relations of the Republic of China (ROC or Taiwan). In order to place this unusual case in the proper perspective, it provides the reader with an overview of Taiwan’s approaches to diplomacy from 1949 to 2021. The chapter argues that two external actors — the United States (U.S.) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China) — have long played a crucial role in Taiwan’s foreign policy behavior and will likely continue to wield enormous influence over Taiwan in coming years.
