Its democratic model is held up as an example in an international context of increasing polarization between liberal and authoritarian regimes.

In a context of growing rivalry between the United States and China, Taiwan is the most serious point of contention between the two adversaries and, as such, an area of extremely high-risk friction. In fact, the strategic interest in Taiwan is just as high for Washington as it is for Beijing.
