This session explores how Taiwan balances military deterrence, diplomatic outreach, and internal cohesion to project strength while maintaining peace. In the face of mounting pressure from China, Taiwan's strategic communications play a vital role in reassuring allies, deterring adversaries, and managing domestic sentiment. The panel will discuss Taiwan's approach to international messaging, its relationship with key partners like the U.S. and Japan, and its efforts to shape perceptions within its own population amidst regional uncertainty.
