Ian Easton On Taiwan: In 2030At no other time in the ancient story of international relations has Taiwan mattered as much as it does today and will in the next ten years. Part of the answer will hinge on whether or not the United States and other like-mind countries stand together with Taiwan. Such an event would drive the United States and Taiwan closer together, much like the last three crises did. In 2030, there could be an American embassy in Taipei where the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) currently stands. Ian Easton is senior director at the Project 2049 Institute and author of The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan’s Defense and American Strategy in Asia (中共攻台大解密).
