That doesn't seem very likely. Even just looking into the topic of the Doklam plateau makes it clear that Bhutan is vulnerable to all kinds of changes in attention. If they truly are not fazed in some general way, it seems more likely that they would not be fazed simply because they live within a geopolitical program which has been defined by external entities. In other words, perhaps they must live out an existential perspective, because other paths of political expression are essentially locked up. Related, I wonder about the locus of control with regard to crypto. Who is managing their interface to their crypto, which intelligence agencies from other nations may be effectively overseeing it, etc. Not to dispute their sovereignty, but I'd imagine the latent vulnerability level would be extremely high if the crypto position is anything near significant enough to threaten key political negotiation parameters.

If they're outwardly unfazed, then it's not their problem. But if they spoke out about it, it would probably become a problem for them.

I'm not sure why they'd be fazed by Taiwan in particular? I've met several Taiwanese people who have been to Bhutan for tourism and have a favorable view of the country.

bhutans 'policy' doesn't strive for economic success as much as they strive for happiness its rather unique, but they totally extort anyone who tries to visit, its expensive!

Bhutan is effectively an Indian dependency, but it's also a small country with a long border with China and has to dance on an awkward tightrope to keep both sides happy.
