Michael Mazza On Taiwan: A decent peace for whom? In many ways, this is consistent with longstanding US defense strategy. “It is not an argument for American hegemony,” but instead “it respects the due claims of other states.” China insists those due claims include ownership of Taiwan. If a decent peace is truly on offer, Taiwan will have to be on offer, too. Michael Mazza is senior director for research at the Institute for Indo-Pacific Security (formerly the Project 2049 Institute) and a senior non-resident fellow at the Global Taiwan Institute.
