This event examines the risks for conflict in the Taiwan Strait and the implications that the changed geo-strategic environment has for the US, Taiwan, the Sino-US relationship and the US-led system of alliances in the region. It builds on a series of BUCSA events about Taiwan’s security that we have held over the past few years, including a talk with Taiwan Defense Minister Andrew Yang in the Spring of 2021 and a presentation and discussion with senior US diplomat Chas Freeman in March 2022.
