Executive Roundtable on the Longstanding U.S. Foreign Policy Towards Taiwan
VIEW EVENT DETAILSGroundbreaker, Innovator, and General Member Event
Asia Society Northern California will host an off-the-record Executive Roundtable program on the longstanding U.S. Foreign Policy towards Taiwan with Bonnie Glaser, Director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) on Thursday, February 10, 2022 from 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Pacific.
While strategic and diplomatic relations between Taiwan and China have improved, there exists a military buildup opposite the Taiwan strait. A major focus of the military modernization program appears to be improving China’s ability to conduct military operations against Taiwan and to deter, delay, and deny U.S. intervention in a cross-strait conflict. Will it be in the U.S. government's interest to revise its longstanding foreign policy towards Taiwan? Jacques deLisle, the Stephen A. Cozen Professor of Law, Professor of Political Science, and Director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China at the University of Pennsylvania, will moderate this discussion.
