India recognizes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a country, not the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan. My interest in this part of the world increased, especially after I visited Taiwan for the first time last year. My understanding of Taiwan continued to evolve. I had to dig deeper, as my research topic — comparing the democratic resilience of India and Taiwan in the context of the geopolitical situation — demanded. I was cleared to enter Taiwan from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport by Taiwan’s customs authorities.
