This talk will discuss the history of the US-PRC-Taiwan relationship, the current policy of “strategic ambiguity,” and the approach the US Indo-Pacific Strategy has taken to maintain effective deterrence. Dr. Hultquist will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of US Taiwan strategy from Biden to Trump 2.0 and provide recommendations to rise to the China challenge in the Taiwan Strait.
