Taiwan’s presence in the global information space is fluctuating. This international visibility of the Republic of China depends on the effectiveness of Taiwanese strategic communications conducted by the authorities in Taipei. This article analyzes the effectiveness of activities carried out in this field using the functional analysis method. Its effect is to determine that the level of international visibility of Taiwan is directly proportional to the number of media events, information operations, and other activities conducted as part of strategic communication. However, it should be emphasized above all that the strategic communication conducted by the Republic of China is not determined by the specific international legal status of Taiwan. The actions carried out by the authorities in Taipei aim to position the Republic of China as a responsible, credible and democratic political, and economic partner for the international community.
