Recently, the engagement between India and Taiwan has increased in terms of societal interaction. On Taiwan National Day, strong support was seen in India angering the Chinese Embassy. Taiwanese president Tsai ing-wen had tweeted about Indian dishes and said her favorite food being Chana Masala and Naan. She also recalled her India visit, which she termed as "memories of a vibrant, diverse & colorful country."

The increased societal interaction comes even as China has been aggressive with both India and Taiwan this year. With India, the line of actual control row has been the worst Chinese build up while with Taiwan, Chinese jets have been breaching the Taiwan Strait median line that separates Taiwan from China.
