| Sumario: | ABSTARCT: This study investigates how Taiwan adapted its cultural diplomacy during COVID-19, examining responses from government agencies, public bodies, artists, and arts organizations. Taiwan's public sector enhanced global partnerships through Track One diplomacy with democratic allies while prioritizing domestic relief for Cultural and Creative Industries workers. Private sector stakeholders, particularly in performing arts, pursued financial aid. Despite policy expectations, digital innovation remained limited due to the digital divide and production constraints. Using document analysis and focus groups, this research reveals the public sector's pivotal role in providing security and leadership during crisis, contributing to discourse on COVID-19's impact on cultural industries and cultural diplomacy strategies.
