Summary/Abstract: The article presents the actions of Poland, Lithuania and the Czech Republictowards Taiwan in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine over thecourse of last year. Although each of these countries supports the subjectivity ofTaiwan in the face of the political escalation of China’s activities, their reactionis varied, especially with regard to further relations with the People’s Republicof China. At the same time, each of the countries recognizes the importanceof developing relations with Taiwan in the face of US policy, as well as the continuedinvolvement in supporting Ukraine or strengthening NATO’s easternflank. Therefore, no significant changes should be expected in these countries’approach to Taiwan, although Lithuania and the Czech Republic will be amongthe strongest promoters of, for example, a greater involvement of the EU in relationswith Taiwan.
