G10: Taiwan: China's Looming Invasion

What if China invades Taiwan? How would the U.S. respond? President Xi Jinping has made a commitment that Taiwan will be re-united with the People's Republic of China – one way or the other. Has Taiwan invested enough in its own survival? Will Taiwan fight like Ukrainians or like the Afghans? Can Taiwan endure like Ukrainians? What is at stake for the United States? Will Japan, South Korea, or Australia be willing to count on us if the U.S. opts not to help Taiwan?

Purpose: Explore China's many plans of attack, how to defend against each, and how this war could be prevented in the first place

Facilitator: Mike Quinlan
