This Wikipedia article covers the diplomatic relationship between the Holy See and the Republic of China, established 23 October 1942 and maintained continuously since, making the Holy See the only European state among Taiwan's remaining formal diplomatic allies. It documents embassies exchanged in Taipei and Rome, the 2018 and 2020 Vatican-Beijing agreements on the appointment of bishops in mainland China, and the Holy See's stated assurance that any rapprochement with Beijing will not come at Taiwan's expense, without naming any concordat or bilateral treaty between the Holy See and Taiwan itself.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used as the weaker relay form; it documents the 1942 establishment and continuous 82-year maintenance of full diplomatic relations without naming a bilateral treaty, and no primary Holy See or Taiwanese government source consulted on this pass named one either, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
