Under Pressure: China’s Coercive Campaign in the Taiwan Strait
Monday, June 10, 2024
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm (U.S. ET)
2300 Clarendon Blvd | Arlington, VA | 22201
Courthouse Conference Room (2nd Floor)
The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to a timely discussion on China’s coercive campaign against Taiwan.
On May 23, 2024, China launched large-scale military drills around Taiwan. The People’s Liberation Army described the exercises, which came days after the inauguration of new Taiwan president Lai Ching-te, as “a strong punishment.” Chinese military activities near Taiwan in recent years have been eye-opening, but Beijing’s coercive approaches have been many and varied. Taipei has grappled with sustained economic, legal, and political warfare. China has sought to sow societal divisions, undermine faith in Taiwan’s democratic institutions, and diplomatically isolate Taiwan—all at a time when the American-led, post-Cold War order is under significant strain. How are China’s coercive approaches towards Taiwan evolving? What does China hope to achieve? How should Taiwan and the United States respond to this coercion?
During the event, Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall G. Schriver will open with reflections on the latest developments. Senior Director Michael Mazza will then moderate a discussion featuring Ben Lewis of PLA Tracker and Dan Blumenthal of the American Enterprise Institute. We hope you will join us for this exciting event on June 10 at 1:00 PM.
