Averting War: Taiwan and US-China Relations
In 2021, The Economist dedicated an issue to Taiwan titled “The Most Dangerous Place on Earth.” After China’s 2022 missile launches off Taiwan’s shores and an emerging “Cold War” between the U.S. and China, Taiwan has become a potential site for global armed conflict. This Task Force aims to produce policy recommendations to address the rising tensions between the U.S., China, and Taiwan and the possibility of war breaking out in the Taiwan Strait. The Task Force will delve into the domestic political, economic, and social factors driving conflict from three parties-–Taiwan, China, and the U.S.–-as well as international relations and military conflicts.
