Abstract
International isolation is the main concern of Taiwan’s foreign politics. The proximity with mainland China urged Taiwan to rely on several different strategies to maintain the coveted geopolitical survival from Beijing’s sovereignty claims.

The main sponsor of such peculiar form of diplomacy has been President Tsai Ing-wen, in charge since May 2016.
