With all eyes on the recent PLA military drills near Taiwan, we look at how China’s hard and sharp power compares with Taiwan’s soft power. Amid Chinese unabated pressure in coercing its neighbors, Taiwan stands as a “force of resistance against authoritarianism.” We also examine what exactly are Taiwan’s values and its evolving identity as the island nation works to win more friends around the world.
