SUMMARY:Evolving Partnerships: U.S. Alliances and the Pacific Islands
DESCRIPTION:19 February\, 2025\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm (U.S. ET)\n2300 Clarendon Blvd | Arlington\, VA | 22201\nCourthouse Conference Room (2nd Floor) \nThe Project 2049 Institute is pleased to invite you to an event launching our latest publication\, Evolving Partnerships: U.S. Alliances and the Pacific Islands\, featuring a timely discussion on cooperation in development and security aid between the United States\, Japan\, Australia\, and New Zealand in the Pacific Islands region. \nPacific Island countries have long attracted development and security assistance from these traditional partner states\, but China is actively vying for predominant influence in the region. This trend poses challenges to the strategic interests of both partner states and Pacific Island countries. \nThe discussion will center around the role that development and security assistance in the region plays in serving the interests of the United States\, Japan\, Australia\, New Zealand\, and Pacific Island recipient countries. How can they maximize their respective benefits through cooperation? What does the future look like for development and security assistance in the Pacific Island countries? How can the United States\, Japan\, Australia\, and New Zealand work together to coordinate this assistance? What challenges are posed by Chinese influence in the region? What are the best ways to counter it? \nDuring this event\, Project 2049 Institute Director of Programs Grace Price will present Project 2049’s most recent report\, outlining how coordination between these four partner countries can serve their interests and the interests of the Pacific Island countries\, while preventing China from gaining a foothold in this strategically vital region. A round-table discussion will follow\, in which select experts and scholars will engage with the paper’s conclusions and recommendations. We hope you will join us for this exciting event on February 19 at 11:00 AM. \n*****CLICK HERE to RSVP\, or use the link below***** \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/evolving-partnerships-us-alliances-and-the-pacific-islands-tickets-1238149651939?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Under Pressure: China's Coercive Campaign in the Taiwan Strait
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 10\, 2024\n1:00 pm – 2:00 pm (U.S. ET)\n2300 Clarendon Blvd | Arlington\, VA | 22201\nCourthouse Conference Room (2nd Floor) \nThe Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to a timely discussion on China’s coercive campaign against Taiwan. \nOn 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? \nDuring 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. \n*****CLICK HERE to RSVP\, or use the link below***** \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/under-pressure-chinas-coercive-campaign-in-the-taiwan-strait-tickets-914676099837

The exchange demonstrated the enduring strength of the U.S.-Japan alliance\, a relationship underpinned by trust and friendship\, and the two nations’ unwavering commitment to uphold and strengthen a free and open international order based upon the rule of law. The two leaders recognized that deepening divisions across international society are posing unprecedented challenges that must be solved together with allies and like-minded partners. They discussed cooperative efforts to address cross-Taiwan Strait issues; instability on the Korean peninsula\, including Russia-North Korea cooperation; Russia’s continued aggression toward Ukraine; and the worsening situation in the Middle East. \nOther major priorities included the continued improvement of U.S.–Japan–ROK relations; greater engagement with Pacific Island and Southeast Asian nations\, particularly the Philippines; mutual investment and R&D collaboration in semiconductors\, AI\, and quantum technology; cooperation in space and on nuclear disarmament; and efforts to improve global economic security by enhancing supply chains resilience and addressing economic coercion\, non-market policies and practices\, and overproduction. How might the United States and Japan pursue these goals moving forward? How have the Biden–Kishida Summit and the U.S.–Japan–Philippines Summit that followed materially changed the scope\, pace\, and nature of cooperation? How is Japan’s role changing in the Indo-Pacific region and the world at large? \nPlease join Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall Schriver and Director of the Department of State’s Office of Japanese Affairs Nicholas Snyder for a discussion of this timely issue. This live-streamed event will provide key insights drawn from Kishida’s recent visit and look to the future of the U.S.-Japan alliance.

SUMMARY:A Perfect Storm: Managing Conflict in the Taiwan Strait
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 13\, 2023\n10:30 am – 11:30 am\nLocation: 2300 Clarendon Blvd | Arlington\, VA | 22201 | Courthouse Conference Room (2nd Floor) \nThe 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. \nPolitical\, 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. \nDuring 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. \n*****CLICK HERE to RSVP\, or use the link below*****\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-perfect-storm-managing-conflict-in-the-taiwan-strait-tickets-721499182477?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Chairman Randall G. Schriver & Senator Dan Sullivan | Why We Stand with Taiwan and Allies in the Indo-Pacific
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to the following conference:  \nTuesday\, March 28\, 2023\n10:00 am – 11:00 am\nLocation: Virtual \n*****RSVP BELOW***** \n \n  \n(HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Viewers may join the LIVE Q&A session by submitting questions to ask@project2049.net throughout the event\, or—if you have a YouTube account—by entering questions directly into the YouTube chat box on the event’s YouTube page. PLEASE provide your name and affiliation when submitting questions.) You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\n\nWhat has happened to America’s collective memory of the importance of Taiwan (Republic of China\, ROC) to U.S. national security? In the 20th century\, U.S. leaders such as President Eisenhower wrote extensively on Taiwan’s critical significance. After the break of official diplomatic relations in 1979\, the U.S. Congress carried the torch of responsibility from the executive to the legislative branch and enshrined America’s military commitment to Taiwan by signing the Taiwan Relations Act into law. Since then\, Taiwan has flourished into a vibrant democracy nearly 24 million citizens strong. Its developed economy boasts some of the world’s most capable businesses in the fields of microelectronics\, aviation\, and green energy\, among others. Failing Taiwan in the event of a Beijing-instigated cross-Strait conflict would obliterate America’s ability to uphold its regional alliance commitments\, trigger the greatest critical supply chain shortage in world history\, and\, most importantly\, surrender 24 million supporters of the liberal world order and its shared principles to an authoritarian ideological fanatic and leave the innocent at the hands of his Party army. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe time for pointing fingers and scratching heads about who\, how\, or what caused (or allowed) the Indo-Pacific’s security dynamics to become so dire has passed. America needs to move\, and quickly. What steps can we take to deter Xi Jinping and the PLA from the nightmare scenario? What can the United States do to ensure Taiwan\, itself\, and its Indo-Pacific allies are ready to overcome the greatest challenge of our time? Please join Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall Schriver and Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska to answer these critical questions and more.  This live stream event will include a Special Guest Discussion with the Chairman and Senator Sullivan\, followed by a reaction panel including experts on Indo-Pacific allies. Viewers will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A with the panel after the discussion. We look forward to seeing you on March 28th! \n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n10:00 am – 10:03 am\nIntroduction \nJohn Gastright\, Jr.\nPresident | The Project 2049 Institute \n10:03 am – 10:40 pm\nSpecial Guest Discussion \nThe Honorable Randall G.

SUMMARY:Chairman Randall G. Schriver & Congressman Adam Smith | The People's House v. The Chinese Communist Party: Trials Ahead for the 118th Congress
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to the following conference:  \nWednesday\, February 22\, 2023\n2:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nLocation: Virtual \n*****RSVP BELOW***** \n \n  \n(HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Viewers may join the LIVE Q&A session by submitting questions to ask@project2049.net throughout the event\, or—if you have a YouTube account—by entering questions directly into the YouTube chat box on the event’s YouTube page. PLEASE provide your name and affiliation when submitting questions.) You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\nThe 118th United States Congress is at the helm of American legislation until 2025. What role do our U.S. Representatives have when it comes to competition with the People’s Republic of China (PRC\, China)? Does Congress have the power to course-correct the alarming trajectory of stability in the region? Notably\, fallacious Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ideological narratives and its Party-army’s efforts in force projection are clouding the path to healthy relations with the great people of China. Legacy policy frameworks for U.S. and allied engagement in the region are losing ground. What can our lawmakers do to ensure they are handing off a surviving and thriving liberal world order to the 119th Congress?\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nPlease join Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall Schriver\, Congressman Adam Smith [D-WA-9]\, current Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee\, and the Hudson Institute’s Japan Chair Fellow\, Komei Isozaki\, for this timely discussion. This live stream event will include topics such as U.S. military readiness\, defense acquisition and procurement\, competition with China\, and broader cooperation in the Indo-Pacific\, among other key matters. The speakers will explore the nature of the challenges we face\, both abroad and at home\, and outline how the U.S. government can invest today in a more efficient and competitive national security structure. We look forward to seeing you on February 22nd! \n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n2:00 pm – 2:03 pm\nIntroduction \nJohn Gastright\, Jr.\nPresident | The Project 2049 Institute \n2:03 pm – 2:45 pm\nPanelist Discussion \nJennifer Hong (Moderator)\nSenior Director | The Project 2049 Institute \nThe Honorable Randall G.

You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\nThe events of the last three years have fundamentally altered the way mankind interacts in the scope of personal\, national\, and international relations. This period has forced new realities upon the international security community\, straining the liberal world order\, and demanding a reaction from the U.S. and its alliance network. Of primary concern to today’s decision-makers\, is how recent events have shifted the fundamentals of the U.S.-China relationship. Where we are now and how the United States can work with Japan—and other allies and partners—to be competitive in preserving their shared values as regional norms are critical questions to explore.\n\n\n  \n\n\nPlease join the Project 2049 Institute’s Chairman\, Randall Schriver\, the American Enterprise Institute’s Director of Asian Studies\, Dan Blumenthal\, and the Wilson Center’s Director for Geoeconomics and Indo-Pacific Enterprise\, Shihoko Goto\, for this timely discussion.

SUMMARY:"The Final Struggle: Inside China's Global Strategy" Book Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to the following conference:  \nTuesday\, June 21st\, 2022\n10:00 am – 11:00 am\nLocation: Virtual \n*****RSVP BELOW***** \n \n  \n(HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Viewers may join the LIVE Q&A session by submitting questions to ask@project2049.net throughout the event\, or—if you have a YouTube account—by entering questions directly into the YouTube chat box on the event’s YouTube page.

You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThe Chinese Communist Party has a sinister secret and is hiding it in plain sight. Deeply researched and engagingly written\, Ian Easton’s latest book is an urgent call to understand Beijing’s true intentions\, and to act before it’s too late. \n\n\n\n\n\nAnswering this urgent call to action\, the Project 2049 Institute is pleased to invite you to a webinar launching The Final Struggle: Inside China’s Global Strategy. Drawing from internal military documents and never-before-seen writings and speeches by Xi Jinping\, Easton takes readers inside Beijing’s shadowy halls of power to reveal the plans\, intentions\, and operations of the most powerful (and covert) political organization in the world. \nDuring this livestream event\, Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randy Schriver will deliver a brief keynote address about the book’s message in the context of today’s unique Indo-Pacific security challenges. Following the address\, Easton will engage with a panel of distinguished experts to more deeply explore key findings. \n——— \n“The supreme strategic challenge of our time is now clear. For the United States and our allies and friends\, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is a threat like no other. Never before in modern times has a totalitarian one-party dictatorship exercised so much power and influence on the world stage. This book reveals the extent to which we need a rigorous examination of China’s official plans and intentions.” — Randall G. Schriver\, Chairman and Founder of the Project 2049 Institute. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n10:00 am – 10:03 am\nIntroduction \nJohn Gastright Jr.\nPresident | The Project 2049 Institute \n10:03 am – 10:13 am\nKeynote Address \nThe Honorable Randall G.

You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\nThe challenges of a global pandemic\, unprovoked invasions\, and the continued rise of powerful\, authoritarian\, and nuclear-armed regimes have rocked the international community. Current events have left the world’s political and thought-leaders with difficult decisions on how to navigate this tumultuous era. During this livestream event\, Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall Schriver will host a dialogue with former Ambassador of Japan to the United States Ryozo Kato to discuss how like-minded allies can succeed in this critical moment.\n\n\n  \n\n\nAmbassador Kato—as the longest-serving Japanese Ambassador to the U.S. in the Post-World War II era [2001-2008]—brings a distinguished career of insights on how to foster strong alliances and carefully manage challenges in the pursuit of a healthy Indo-Pacific. Addressing mutual threats to the United States and Japan requires both immediate short-term actions and a resilient long-term vision. We are honored to host Ambassador Kato in this “fireside chat” discussion to learn from his decades of experience and better understand how the U.S.\, Japan\, and their allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific can work together to face and overcome challenges posed by today’s agents of international destabilization\, such as the Chinese Communist Party.\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n8:00 pm – 8:03 pm\nIntroduction \nJohn Gastright Jr.\nThe Project 2049 Institute \n8:03 pm – 8:40 pm\nChairman’s Discussion with Ambassador Kato \nThe Honorable Randall G.

SUMMARY:Taiwan's Global Gravity: The Push and Pull of Coercive and Annihilative Cross-Strait Scenarios
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute and the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) cordially invite you to the following virtual conference: \nMonday\, February 14\, 2022\n12:00 pm – 3:30 pm\nLocation: Virtual \n*****RSVP HERE***** \n \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE: Registration is now open on ISOA’s website! Viewers will have the opportunity to join LIVE Q&A sessions by registering for the event and participating directly through the event’s Zoom Q&A feature\, or—if you have a YouTube account—by entering questions directly into the YouTube chat box on the event’s YouTube page. Please provide your name and affiliation when submitting questions.\n  \nBoth coercive and annihilative scenarios in Taiwan have global “gravity.” The seriousness and severity of potential crisis-scenarios\, in terms of both life and global health and stability\, merit one definition of the term. The fact that no member of the international community would go unaffected by an annihilative cross-Strait crisis — or even a coerced diminishment of Taiwan’s international space — as countries would be inevitably pushed or pulled by political\, social\, or economic forces\, warrants the other. The years-long COVID-19 pandemic has proved beyond a doubt that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) coercive activities towards Taiwan have global gravity. As the Party works to minimize Taiwan’s global participation\, so too has it limited the island’s ability to effectively share its medical best practices\, personal protective equipment\, and other life-saving goods and services.\n  \nThat politically-motivated loss of life was a lesson hard learned by the world. The United States and its Allies now have the solemn responsibility to understand the true gravity of Taiwan’s national security. To this effect\, the first panel of the event will feature policy experts examining the threat Taiwan faces\, its defense strategy\, as well as an industry representative discussing challenges and opportunities of operational readiness. The second panel will place that insight into a global context\, launching into discussions about the United Nations\, the perspective from Japan\, and Taiwan’s views of its own struggle for international space.

SUMMARY:Chairman Randall G. Schriver and Congressman Mike Gallagher: Next Steps for the United States\, Japan\, Taiwan\, Australia\, and Allies in Competition with China
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to the following conference:  \nTuesday\, October 26\, 2021\n12:30 pm – 1:30 pm\nLocation: Virtual \n*****RSVP BELOW***** \n \n  \n(HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Viewers may join the LIVE panelist Q&A session by submitting questions to ask@project2049.net throughout the event\, or—if you have a YouTube account—by entering questions directly into the YouTube chat box on the event’s YouTube page.

You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\nToday’s leaders in the United States have the most accurate assessment of the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that has been available in decades. China’s one-party dictatorship is eroding the liberal democratic order that underpins Indo-Pacific peace and stability\, and challenging the United States’ ability to defend the region. How can Washington work with its critical Indo-Pacific allies and partners and press forward with action? Can the U.S. identify how to compete\, how to win\, and how to work with friends and allies before it is too late? The task is daunting. Where to begin?\n\n\n  \n\n\nDuring this livestream event\, Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall Schriver will host a dialogue with Congressman Mike Gallagher [R-WI-8] to answer these vital questions. They will discuss the CCP’s weaponization of critical supply chains\, the state of American sea power in the Indo-Pacific\, the role of regional allies\, and the importance of communicating resolve to defend our partners and democratic principles in the region. They will explore the role of the National Technology Industrial Base\, the Pacific Deterrence Initiative\, and the need to strengthen U.S. naval presence in coordination with treaty allies such as Japan and Australia\, as well as like-minded partners such as Taiwan. Securing militarily-relevant supply chains is of urgent concern and the conversation will provide insight on current models of bilateral defense relations that could be expanded to other partners in the region.\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n12:30 pm – 12:33 pm\nIntroduction \nJohn Gastright Jr.\nThe Project 2049 Institute \n12:33 pm – 1:10 pm\nChairman’s Discussion with Congressman Gallagher \nThe Honorable Randall G.

SUMMARY:Former Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott: A Discussion on Innovative Policy Options for Strategic Competition with China
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to the following conference:  \nFriday\, October 15\, 2021\n3:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nLocation: Virtual \n*****RSVP BELOW***** \n \n  \n(HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Viewers may join the LIVE panelist Q&A session by submitting questions to ask@project2049.net throughout the event\, or—if you have a YouTube account—by entering questions directly into the YouTube chat box on the event’s YouTube page.

You can register for the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\nAustralia’s 2020 Defence Strategic Update states\, “strategic competition\, primarily between the United states and China\, will be the principal driver of strategic dynamics in the Indo-Pacific.” This likely holds true for Japan and other U.S. allies and partners as well.  In fact\, amid shifting power dynamics\, the United States and its allies and partners face the most consequential challenge to global peace and security since the end of World War II. As such\, the United States and its allies and partners need to think creatively and initiate proactive measures to sufficiently deter\, preempt\, and\, if necessary\, confront Chinese behavior that challenges the rules\, norms\, and peace and security of the Indo-Pacific region. With the recent events of AUKUS and China’s filing to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTTP)\, the United States and its allies must think strategically about security and economic next steps and explore new and creative opportunities to counter the growing challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWith Australia’s former Prime Minister Tony Abbott\, Project 2049’s Chairman Randall Schriver and Wilson Center’s Deputy Director Shihoko Goto will explore the current state of the strategic environment in the Indo-Pacific. What are the most pressing challenges posed by the Chinese Community Party and what are the Australian and Japanese governments’ concerns in the region? What factors should the U.S. and allies and partners’ policymakers consider when pursuing strategic alliances in the region? What innovative policy solutions are available to Washington\, Canberra\, and Tokyo?\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n3:00 pm – 3:05 pm\nIntroduction \nJennifer K.

SUMMARY:Near and Present Danger: SOUTHCOM Commander ADM Faller on U.S.-China Strategic Competition in the Western Hemisphere
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute is pleased to present the following conference:  \nTuesday\, June 15\, 2021\n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm\nLocation: Virtual \n  \n \n  \n\nThe People’s Republic of China (PRC\, China) is actioning a ten-year plan to be the dominant economic player in Latin America and the Caribbean. Behind the financial support related to domestic infrastructure\, port construction\, and COVID-19 relief\, the PRC is establishing global logistics and basing groundwork in the Western Hemisphere. This allows the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to project and sustain military power closer to the American homeland. Given the current global health crisis instigated by COVID-19\, if the United States fails to engage Latin American political\, military\, and business leaders\, the region’s susceptibility to the pandemic could prove a Trojan Horse for PRC cyber infiltration and political influence. Already\, the CCP is using COVID-19 medical support\, vaccine deployment\, and other economic incentives to expand its fifth-generation wireless network technology (5G)\, which could be used to bolster CCP intelligence and surveillance capabilities. \n\n\nU.S. influence in the region is on a downward trend. However\, there is still a margin—albeit a closing one—between the U.S. and PRC. Like-minded regional support for liberal democratic values\, such as the rule of law\, transparent governance\, and respect for human rights\, are in jeopardy. Going forward\, there are two questions that demand urgent attention. (1) What are the CCP’s coercive activities in the Western Hemisphere? And (2) What is the role of the United States and its global allies in supporting Latin American and Caribbean partners to repel this threat? During this livestream event\, Project 2049 Institute Chairman Randall Schriver hosted a conversation with U.S. Southern Commander\, Admiral Craig S. Faller. Following ADM Faller\, Chairman Schriver engaged with Dr. Rebecca Bill Chavez\, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs\, and Yuko Mukai\, Political Correspondent at the Yomiuri Shimbun. The speakers answered these two questions\, providing their expertise on the present situation and recommending actionable steps towards a safer future for the United States\, the Western Hemisphere\, and the international community at large. \n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n1:30 pm – 1:35 pm\nIntroduction & Opening Remarks \nJohn Gastright Jr.\nThe Project 2049 Institute \nThe Honorable Randall G. Schriver\nThe Project 2049 Institute \n1:35 pm – 1:50 pm\nKeynote Speaker \nAdmiral Craig S. Faller\nCommander\, United States Southern Command \n1:50 pm – 2:10 pm\nPanel Discussion \nDr. Rebecca Bill Chavez\nFormer Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs \nYuko Mukai\nThe Yomiuri Shimbun \n2:10 pm – 2:30 pm\nQ&A \nView the event on our YouTube page here. \nFollow @Project2049 and #P2049Live on Twitter for more analysis. \n

You can register to the event at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\nIndo-Pacific security issues have significant and growing implications for the broader international community\, including Europe. These issues may not only jeopardize global peace and economic prosperity\, but also the fundamental principles that stabilize the liberal world order. As the United States’ understanding of the Chinese Communist Party has become better informed\, Washington has begun to adjust its approach toward Beijing. What is the role of America’s NATO allies and other like-minded partners in strategic competition with the People’s Republic of China? To what degree can democracies\, including our European allies\, coordinate and cooperate with Japan\, Australia\, India\, South Korea\, and Taiwan to affect outcomes in the Pacific? \n\n\nDuring this livestream event\, the Project 2049 Institute will host a distinguished panel of experts to explore the role of our European allies with regard to strategic competition. The panelists will share their perspectives on the current level of European coordination with U.S. and Indo-Pacific allies\, in addition to a broader discussion on our common challenges\, identifying future mechanisms of cooperation based on our shared values. \n\n\nSCHEDULE & SPEAKERS \n10:00 am – 10:10 am\nIntroduction & Opening Remarks \nJohn Gastright Jr.\nThe Project 2049 Institute \nThe Honorable Randall G.

SUMMARY:Critical Nexus: The Future of U.S.-Japan-Taiwan Security Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute cordially invites you to the following conference: Thursday\, October 3\, 2019 10:30 am – 2:30 pm Location: Carnegie Endowment Conference Center – Choate Room 1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \n*****RSVP BELOW*****  \n \n  \nThe People’s Republic of China’s (PRC\, China) emergence as a strategic competitor of the United States presents a mix of challenges as well as new areas of potential cooperation for U.S. allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific. As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to increase China’s capabilities and advance its strategic agenda\, an assessment of regional developments highlights the importance of a U.S.-Japan-Taiwan (Republic of China\, ROC) trilateral partnership in the architecture of the region. As the critical nexus of democratic power in the Indo-Pacific\, stronger relations between the U.S.\, Japan\, and Taiwan are vital to maintaining a free and open region. There is considerable need for deeper engagement between American\, Japanese\, and Taiwanese thinkers to spur creative policy recommendations and foster innovative approaches to strengthen the rules-based order. \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of international experts to explore shared interests and challenges facing the United States\, Japan\, and Taiwan\, and discuss potential areas of cooperation in both traditional and non-traditional security affairs. The conference will offer recommendations for ways in which policymakers in Washington\, Tokyo\, and Taipei might consider bolstering trilateral relations to respond to evolving regional dynamics. \nSchedule \n10:30 am – 11:00 am Opening Remarks  \nThe Honorable Richard L.

SUMMARY:Phase Zero: A New Taiwan Policy?
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute and the Global Taiwan Institute cordially invite you to the following conference: \nThursday\, March 14\, 2019\n1:30 pm – 5:00 pm\nLocation: Carnegie Endowment Conference Center\, Root Room\n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \n \nFor the past 40 years\, national interests\, and a commitment to peace\, security\, and stability in the Western Pacific\, has guided the United States’ policy on Taiwan (Republic of China\, ROC). The People’s Republic of China (PRC\, China)\, under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)\, has long sought to undermine the status quo and achieve the political subordination of Taiwan under its “One China principle.” In spite of Beijing’s efforts\, Washington has managed to foster robust U.S.-Taiwan ties. The current policy framework\, however\, has been slow in keeping pace with fundamental changes that have taken place in Taiwan. \nTaiwan has transformed into a flourishing democracy\, with a high-tech market economy embedded in global supply chains. Taipei is also an active contributor to international public goods\, at a time when Beijing is undermining the security of the global commons. A more objective representation of the status quo across the Taiwan Strait may better serve long-term U.S. interests and more accurately reflect American principles and values. An assessment of the current U.S.-Taiwan policy framework\, as well as a review of future-oriented policy options\, is needed to guide U.S.-Taiwan relations into the future. \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to evaluate the United States’ current Taiwan policy\, and assess ways in which the United States can move toward a more normal\, stable\, and constructive relationship with Taiwan over the long-term. \nSchedule \n1:30 pm – 2:00 pm\nOpening Remarks  \nThe Honorable Richard L.

SUMMARY:The Nightmare Scenario: The PLA Invasion Threat & Taiwan's Response
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 31st\, 2018 \n1:30 pm – 4:00 pm \nLocation: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Conference Center\, Choate Room \n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \nLocation: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, Choate Room \n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 200 \n \n  \nSince the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC\, China) in 1949\, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has made no secret of its intention to subjugate the Republic of China (ROC\, Taiwan)\, including by force if perceived as necessary and worth the cost. Potentially supporting the CCP’s “China Dream\,” a capacity to physically occupy Taiwan through amphibious invasion appears to be an “historic mission.” As the armed wing of the party\, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has long been capable of physically occupying Taiwan\, barring U.S. intervention and willingness to bear exorbitant political and military costs. However\, long-term\, targeted investments into PLA force modernization\, deepening of its military reform and reorganization program\, and growing obsolesce of Taiwan’s ground force equipment\, increase the likelihood of an amphibious invasion. The CCP and its Central Military Commission (CMC) oversee an increasingly dangerous PLA. Its capacity for use of force has developed rapidly\, driven in large part by the desire to subordinate Taiwan to the Chinese Communist Party. Alongside airpower and naval forces\, the ROC Army and Marines play integral roles in deterrence and defense of the island. However\, in a minimum warning invasion scenario\, ground forces may be the last barrier standing between deterrence and potential national annihilation. \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to assess PLA force modernization\, reform\, and reorganization\, address the role of Taiwan’s ground forces in a worst-case invasion scenario\, and explore implications for U.S. policy. The panelists will evaluate evolving PLA capabilities relevant to a Taiwan invasion scenario\, assess the role of Taiwan’s ground forces\, and discuss potential areas for further U.S.-Taiwan security cooperation. \n  \nSchedule \n1:30 pm – 2:00 pm\nOpening Remarks \nThe Honorable Richard L.

SUMMARY:Under the Radar: China's Coercive Air Power in the Taiwan Strait
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 14\, 2018\n2:00 PM to 4:00 PM\nLocation: Rayburn House Office Building\nRoom 2255\n45 Independence Ave SW\nWashington\, DC 20515 \nOn January 4\, 2018\, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) unilaterally initiated a significant modification to an aviation route along the western side of the centerline of the Taiwan Strait\, and activated three east-to-west spurs to and from China’s southeast coast. In violation of existing cross-Strait civil aviation agreements\, the routes were implemented without prior consultation through established negotiating channels. The PRC has a long history of leveraging air power and airspace management more broadly\, as instruments of coercive persuasion against Taiwan (Republic of China\, ROC). As an early example\, the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) began flights over the Taiwan Strait in 1996\, and extended operations to the centerline during heightened cross-Strait tensions in 1999. PRC national airspace management policy\, presumably including the new commercial air routes\, is guided by the State Air Traffic Control Commission (SATCC). Notably\, the SATCC office\, which handles day to day airspace management affairs\, resides within the Central Military Commission (CMC) Joint Staff Department. Authorities in Beijing claim the new routes are intended to ease air traffic congestion. However\, this unilateral move may illustrate a broader political and military agenda\, intended to coerce Taiwan to the negotiating table on unfavorable terms\, under the guise of civil aviation. More alarming\, however\, is the potential for the PRC to assert the Taiwan Strait as PRC territorial waters\, declare exclusive sovereignty in the airspace above the Taiwan Strait\, and mandate air traffic control authority over the Taipei Flight Information Region (FIR). \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of panelists to discuss the PRC’s coercive airspace management\, Taiwan’s security\, and implications for U.S. interests. The panelists will explore linkages between these new civil air routes\, expanded People’s Liberation Army (PLA) flight activity in the Western Pacific\, and prospects for the PRC’s establishment of an air defense identification zone (ADIZ) over the Taiwan Strait and beyond. \nCongressman Ted Yoho (R-FL)\nChairman\nUnited States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific \nDan Blumenthal\nDirector of Asian Studies\nAmerican Enterprise Institute  \nMichael Chase\nSenior Political Scientist\nRAND Corportaiton \n \nMark Stokes\nExecutive Director\nProject 2049 Institute  \nIan Easton\nResearch Fellow\nProject 2049 Institute  \nModerator: Rachael Burton\nDeputy Director\nProject 2049 Institute

SUMMARY:Securing the Strait: U.S.-Taiwan Security Relations
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 28\, 2017\n3:00 PM to 5:00 PM\nLocation: The Conference Center at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\nRoot Room\n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\nWashington\, DC 20036 \nRecent events and actions regarding challenges in the Asia-Pacific region highlight a clear requirement for a more cooperative U.S. partnership with Taiwan. The 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) advocates for a strengthened U.S. defense partnership with Taiwan through the following: 1) regular transfers of defense articles and defense services\, 2) support in building Taiwan’s air defense capabilities along with a program of technical assistance and consultation to improve Taiwan’s undersea warfare capabilities\, and 3) continued programs of exchanges with senior military officers and senior officials to improve U.S.-Taiwan military-to-military relations. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford’s characterization of China (PRC) as “posing the greatest threat” to the U.S. by 2025 provides further reason for Taiwan’s defense needs\, as the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) modernization and reorganization under General Secretary Xi Jinping continues to enhance its capabilities. Additionally\, the 2017 Annual Report to Congress: Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China published by the Department of Defense notes the PLA’s potential to degrade core U.S. military-technological advantages\, which could impact U.S. intervention in a Taiwan conflict scenario. Given the credible threat\, David Helvey\, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security affairs defined the United States’ and Taiwan’s common goal as having “a credible and visible deterrent to potential coercion and aggression against Taiwan.” With a common goal established\, the United States and Taiwan must seek innovative and cooperative initiatives to develop latent inter-operability and a cohesive deterrent to maintain peace and stability in the region. \nIn light of the threats facing the U.S. – Taiwan relationship\, this conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to address the Chinese Communist Party’s coercive actions against Taiwan and impress upon areas of opportunities for strengthened security relations between the United States and Taiwan. \nJames Lee\nDeputy Representative\nTaipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office \nRupert Hammond-Chambers\nPresident\nU.S.-Taiwan Business Council \nAnish Goel\nProfessional Staff\nSenate Committee on Armed Services\nSenior Fellow\nNew America \nTiffany Ma\nSenior DIrector for Political and Security Affairs\nNational Buearu of Asian Research \nMark Stokes\nExecutive Director\nProject 2049 Institute \nModerator: Rachael Burton\nDeputy Director\nProject 2049 Institute

SUMMARY:A Book Discussion with Ian Easton: The Chinese Invasion Threat on Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 31\, 2017\n1:45 PM to 3:15 PM\nLocation: The Elliott School of International Affairs\nRoom 505\n1957 E Street Northwest\nWashington\, DC 20052 \nAre war clouds gathering in Asia? Will China make good on threats to invade Taiwan? What would this conflict mean for America and the world? Exposing internal Chinese military documents and restricted-access studies\, “The Chinese Invasion Threat” explores the secret world of war planning\, strategy\, espionage\, and national security. From a historic spy case that saved Taiwan from communist takeover to modern-day covert action programs\, and from emergency alert procedures to underground coastal defense networks\, this is the untold story of the most dangerous flash-point of our times. The book utilizes Chinese military documents to outline a potential Chinese invasion scenario\, and analyzes the implications of such a threat for Taiwan\, the United States\, and the Asia-Pacific region. \nThis event featured a moderated discussion with Ian Easton\, the author of “The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan’s Defense and American Strategy in Asia\,” followed by audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:Assessing the Resiliency of the Chinese Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 12\, 2017\n1:30 PM to 4:00 PM\nLocation: The Conference Center at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\nChoate Room\n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\nWashington\, DC 20036 \nAt the forthcoming 19th Party Congress in Beijing\, Chinese leaders will project an image of China as a strong and united country destined to become a new global leader. However\, the extraordinary measures undertaken to control information\, assembly\, and capital outflows suggest the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may be weaker than it appears. While much discussion in Washington\, D.C. has been focused on the future of U.S.-PRC relations\, it is imperative to assess the resiliency of China’s party-state apparatus the international community interacts with today and examine its implications for American interests. China\, under the rule of the CCP\, has denied its people their natural rights of self-determination and freedom of thought and expression. Since the late 1970s\, the PRC leadership has pursued a policy of “reform and opening” that has advanced the Chinese economy\, while ensuring the Party’s continued monopoly on all forms of political power. This ideologically retrograde path has resulted in considerable tensions within Chinese society\, most notably manifested in 1989 during the Tian’anmen square movement. As China continues to emerge as a globally-interconnected power\, concerns have risen regarding its political system. While seemingly very unlikely\, how would a regime change in Beijing influence the current international system? \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to address the potentially tenuous nature of the CCP’s hold on power and what a potential future CCP collapse could mean for the United States and the future of Asia. \nRandall Schriver\nPresident and CEO\nProject 2049 Institute \nRichard McGregor\nAuthor\nFormer Beijing and Washington Bureau Chief\, Financial Times \nYang Jianli\nPresident and Founder\nInitiatives for China \nDavid Gitter\nDirector\nParty Watch Initiative \nNadège Rolland\nSenior Fellow for Political and Security Affairs\nNational Bureau of Asian Research \nModerator: Rachael Burton\nDeputy Director\nProject 2049 Institute \nPeter Mattis\nFellow in the China Program\nJamestown Foundation \nMark Stokes\nExecutive Director\nProject 2049 Institute \nKuniko Ashizawa\nAdjunct Professor\nAmerican University \nModerator: Emily David\nFellow\nProject 2049 Institute

SUMMARY:China's Fault Lines: Challenges\, Instability\, and Response
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 30\, 2017\n1:00 PM to 3:15 PM\nLocation: Top of The Hill\, Minuteman Ballroom\n1 Constitution Ave\, NE\nWashington\, DC 20002 \nChinese leaders have projected an image of China as an inevitable regional and global leader. However\, controls on information\, assembly\, and capital outflows suggests the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is paying closer attention to its domestic priorities than to its international reputation. The Congressional Executive Commission on China’s (CECC) 2016 annual report detailed the anger and discontent felt by many Chinese citizens\, who are increasingly calling for more government accountability\, transparency and justice. Regime legitimacy and social stability are important challenges that factor into Chinese leaders’ perceptions of national power. With the CCP’s 19th Party Congress on the horizon\, it is more critical than ever to assess the CCP’s underlying regime stability and the key threats to it. \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to address China’s most important current challenges and sources of instability\, as well as Beijing’s potential response to both. Following a keynote address by Senate Foreign Relations Asia Subcommittee Chair Cory Gardner (R-CO)\, we will feature panel discussions and conversation on how China’s current challenges and instability will impact the U.S.-China relationship. Participants will also examine how the U.S. and its allies could more effectively engage with China in the future based on these factors. \n\nSenator Cory Gardner  \nUnited States Senator for Colorado\nUnited States Congress\n\n\n\n\n\nSheena Chestnut Greitens\nAssociate Professor in the Department of Political Science\nUniversity of Missouri \n\n\n\nSarah Cook  \nSenior Research Analyst for East Asia\nFreedom House\n\nMegan Fluker\nResearch Associate and Manager of Annual Report Production\nCongressional-Executive Commission on China \n\nKaoru (Kay) Shimizu\nResearch Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science\nUniversity of Pittsburgh\n\nPiper Stover\nFormer Vice-President of China Operations and Board of Governors 2015 & 2016\nAmerican Chamber of Commerce – China\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Rachael Burton\nResearch Associate\nProject 2049 Institute\n\n \n\n\n\nDan Blumenthal\nDirector of Asia Studies & Resident Fellow\nAmerican Enterprise Institute\n\n \nEly Ratner\nMaurice R.

SUMMARY:1984 with Chinese Characteristics: How China Rewrites History
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 23\, 2017\n1:30 PM to 4:00 PM\nLocation: First Floor Conference Center\n1777 F St. NW\nWashington\, DC 20006 \nA hallmark of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s ‘China Dream’ is founded on principles of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” with the goal to build a culturally strong and prosperous China under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). To achieve the ‘China Dream\,’ it is essential for the Party to be a critical part of both China’s past and present to successfully usher China into the future. As such\, the CCP has actively dominated the narrative of their history\, which has politicized the very nature of the PRC’s struggles and successes. In order to maintain the CCP narrative\, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued a communiqué in April 2013 known as Document No.9 titled\, “Communiqué on the Current State of the Ideological Sphere.” The document set out to criticize seven political threats including constitutionalism\, civil society\, historical nihilism\, universal values\, and the Western view of media. Overall\, the document criticized these elements for attempting to undermine the legitimacy of the Party through the questioning of China’s version of events\, and prohibited open discourse or any challenge to the CCP’s historical narrative in an effort to maintain the strict adherence to the Party line. \nThis conference will bring together an expert panel to address the costs and implications related to the CCP’s distortion of consequential moments in China’s past. Specifically\, the event will address “Problems on the Periphery” and the impact of the CCP’s involvement in Tibet\, Southeast Asia\, and Korea. A second panel will discuss how the modern reform era of the 1980’s and onward resulted in a stronger and more defiant CCP today. The conference will also include a discussion on the CCP’s process of “restoration” and the consequences of Party history. \n  \nEdward Friedman \nProfessor Emeritus\, Department of Political Science \nUniversity of Wisconsin\, Madison \nMiles Yu \nProfessor of East Asia and Military and Naval History \nUnited States Naval Academy \nLi Jianglin \nWriter/Independent Researcher \nKelley Currie \nSenior Fellow \nThe Project 2049 Institute \nModerator: Amy Chang \nFormer Staff Director \nAsia and Pacific Subcommittee\, House Foreign Affairs Committee \nRobert Suettinger \nSenior Advisor and Consultant \nThe Stimson Center \nCao Yaxue  \nFounder and Editor \nChinachange.org \nModerator: Louisa Greve \nVice President\, Asia\, Middle East & North Africa Programs \nNational Endowment for Democracy

SUMMARY:Going Ballistic: The Taiwan Strait Crisis at 20
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 13\, 2016\n1:30 PM to 4:00 PM\nThe Conference Center at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\nRoot Room\n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\nWashington\, DC 20036 \nIn June 1995\, Taiwan’s President\, Lee Teng-hui\, visited Cornell University to give a speech on democracy. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) responded with a series of coercive military actions which precipitated a major crisis in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing viewed the prospect of an internationally recognized Taiwanese democracy as a severe threat to its legitimacy and panned President Lee’s visit as a reversal of perceived American commitments to respect its version of the “one China” policy. In the wake of this historic event\, the PRC began to rapidly build-up its military capabilities for a future Taiwan conflict scenario. For its part\, the U.S. increased strategic dialogues\, training exchanges\, and arms sales to Taiwan. Now\, 20 years after the Crisis\, the military and political calculus across the Taiwan Strait has changed. China is far better able to execute military operations across the Strait\, but Taiwan is also better prepared to defend itself. Recently\, China has abducted Taiwanese citizens abroad\, limited Taiwan’s participation in international organizations\, and conducted threatening military exercises. Given the trend lines before us\, it is ever more important to evaluate the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis\, and explore its implications for the future of the Asia-Pacific. \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts for a timely discussion on China’s behavior before\, during\, and after the Crisis\, with a special focus on the Chinese military. Panelists will also examine the ways in which U.S.-Taiwan relations were strengthened after the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis\, and address some of the outstanding weaknesses which remain. \nRandy Schriver \nPresident & CEO\, The Project 2049 Institute  \nAbe Denmark  \nDeputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia\, Department of Defense  \nAmy Chang  \nFormer Staff Director\, Asia and Pacific Subcommittee\, House Foreign Affairs Committee \nIan Easton \nResearch Fellow\, The Project 2049 Institute  \nShirley Kan \nFormer Staff\, Specialty in Asian Security Affairs\, Congressional Research Service \nModerator: Rachael Burton \nResearch Associate\, The Project 2049 Institute  \n\nCarolyn Bartholomew \nVice Chairman\, U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission \nTiffany Ma \nSenior Director for Political and Security Affairs\, The National Bureau of Asian Research  \nMark Stokes \nExecutive Director\, The Project 2049 Institute  \nModerator: Rupert Hammond-Chambers \nPresident\, U.S.-Taiwan Business Council
