The Project 2049 Institute is pleased to invite you to an event launching our latest publication, A Perfect Storm: Managing Conflict in the Taiwan Strait, which offers recommendations for shaping near- and long-term U.S. and Taiwan policy.
Political, technological, economic, military, socio-cultural, and non-traditional security driving forces are coalescing into a “perfect storm” for U.S. cross-Strait policy. Given the growing threat of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Liberation Army (PLA), policies created to support U.S. security interests in the Indo-Pacific must evolve to a changing threat environment. The United States must work with allies and partners to develop a holistic strategy that underscores the legitimacy of Taiwan’s separate, democratic system and operations and allows Taiwan to operate government-to-government without fear of PLA military retaliation.
During this event, Project 2049 Institute Chairman the Honorable Randall G. Schriver will deliver remarks highlighting the report’s key recommendations in the context of the current and future landscape, with reflections on Taiwan’s upcoming presidential election. A discussion, moderated by Jennifer Hong, will follow with remarks from former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia Heino Klinck to more deeply explore the driving factors and recommendations.
