Ian Easton On Taiwan: Taiwan: Not so safe, not so weakIf there’s anything American defense experts agree on, it’s that Taiwan should take the threat of an enemy attack more seriously — and make itself harder to invade than it now appears. Taiwan also feels safe because it is safe, at least according to the numbers. LESSONS FROM UKRAINEThe war in Ukraine shows that Taiwan is not a lost cause and remains defensible. Taiwan is neither as safe as it feels, nor as weak as it looks. Ian Easton is a senior director at the Project 2049 Institute and the author of The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan’s Defense and American Strategy in Asia.
