Elizabeth Freund Larus, Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs, on Dec. 6, 2022, offered a presentation on Taiwan’s foreign policy to the Pacific Forum, a foreign policy research institute based in Hawaii. Professor Larus analyzed Taiwan’s foreign policy making since the island became a democracy in the year 2000, indicating that Realist Theory does not explain why Taiwan’s diplomatic allies chose the island over relations with mainland China. She claimed that China’s lack of transparency on the origins of COVID-19 was a gift to Taiwan, but that factions among the two dominant political parties in Taiwan unnecessarily complicate foreign policy making.<\/p>
