−50
Substantially adversarial
0
Mixed or neutral, supported by knowledge
+50
Substantially cooperative
+100
Exceptionally close sustained partnership

“Not assessed” means there is no recorded score. Pair existence makes no claim about diplomatic recognition or established relations.

Overview

Antigua and Barbuda shifted diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to the People’s Republic of China in 1983, ending its official relationship with Taiwan.
