Moderator:
The United States is growing increasingly concerned over the security of Taiwan. While Taipei is not a US treaty ally, peace and stability around the island serve America’s political, security, and economic interests. But the People’s Republic of China is increasingly threatening Taiwan’s democratic political system, territorial security, and free economy.
Will new administrations in Taipei and Washington deepen the nations’ relationship? Or will new challenges emerge? What does Taiwan need to boost its hard and soft powers? How can Taiwan build stronger whole-of-society resilience in areas such as food and energy security? Join Hudson experts for a discussion on these topics and more.
