The circumstances and factors that have deterred for decades an attack by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on Taiwan and enabled its people to remain secure and prosperous are changing. The conventional military balance in the western Pacific has tipped in China’s favor, although its military, the People’s Liberation Army, is not yet ready to seize and control Taiwan. Apart from the military threats of invasion, blockade, and seizure of one of its small outlying islands, Taiwan is the target of Chinese economic and diplomatic pressure, disinformation, united front tactics, and other forms of psychological warfare. Most of the global focus on Taiwan centers on the risk of war, leaving insufficient attention to these gray-zone threats that are designed to sow doubts about US willingness to defend Taiwan if attacked and to induce a sense of deep psychological despair about its future unless it is integrated into the PRC. Beijing’s ultimate goal is to convince the people of Taiwan to lose faith in their democracy and to surrender sovereignty. Easing Taiwan’s isolation and providing reassurance that the world cares deeply about the fate and well-being of its 23.5 million people are crucial to preserving the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. The contributions here, written by ten members of the 2023 TUPP delegation, underscore the importance of deeper study and understanding of Taiwan. I sincerely hope that they stimulate continued global interest in Taiwan and its future Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover page (GMFUS, viewed August 29, 2023) Subject National security -- Taiwan Diplomatic relations National security SUBJECT Taiwan -- Foreign relations. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85131985 United States -- Foreign relations -- Taiwan Subject Taiwan United States Form Electronic book Author Bade, Scott, author Cain, Geoffrey, author Hmaidi, Antonia, author Mazzuca, David, author Kazulėnas, Tomas, author Moore, Andrew, author Neugebauer, Max, author Pugliese, Giulio, author Sawerthal, Anna, author Weaver-Lee, Zoë, author Zwicker, Gillian, author German Marshall Fund of the United States, publisher.
