Answering Threats to Taiwan Part II: Understanding the Military Dynamics of a US-China Conflict

The announcement that the Taiwan President will visit the United States in early April has brought renewed attention to the potential conflict between the US and China over Taiwan. Additionally, some experts assert that the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has further intensified the need for the US and China to prepare for a possible military confrontation.Despite this perceived urgency, much of the discourse surrounding a Taiwan conflict focuses on the security concerns motivating both powers and the geopolitical fallout that would occur as a result. Our panel of defense and national security law experts will go beyond this analysis to examine the specific scenarios that could trigger conflict and the strategies that the US might deploy to protect its interests.This recorded webinar features a robust discussion on one of the most pressing security challenges of our time.Featuring:--Col.
