Background: With China’s increasing global presence, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era (Xi Jinping Thought) has captured the attention of international scholars, becoming a focal point in international studies on China. Notably, the academic community in Taiwan has also displayed a growing interest in this subject. Purpose/Significance: This study aims to objectively reveal the key areas and evolving trends in academic research on Xi Jinping Thought in Taiwan. It seeks to explore how cross-strait exchanges and dialogues can be enhanced in the context of the new era, thereby advancing discussions on Xi Jinping Thought. This research is committed to driving both theoretical innovation and practical applications, improving the dissemination of international discourse, and providing a reliable reference base. Methods/Process: This research applied social network analysis, cluster analysis, and strategic diagram to analyze the keywords extracted from articles on Xi Jinping Thought indexed in the Airitilibrary Database. Results: The findings reveal that “CPC’s Policy toward Taiwan” is the core research subject on Xi Jinping Thought in Taiwan’s academic arena. Conversely, “Foreign Strategies”, “Thought on Strengthening the Military”, and the “19th National Congress of the CPC” represent comparatively niche areas of research in this field. Despite receiving significant attention, the concept of the “BRI” lacks a comprehensive theoretical framework. Recent research frontiers in Taiwan include “United Front”, “20th National Congress of CPC” and the “COVID-19 Pandemic”. Conclusion: This study concludes that there has been consistent enthusiasm for the exploration of Xi Jinping Thought in Taiwan’s academic community since the 18th Party Congress of the CPC. However, research perspectives vary widely, and the topics are fragmented, lacking systematic and continuous exploration. An established academic community has not yet emerged.
