Richard D. Fisher, Jr. On Taiwan: More Ukraine Lessons For China And TaiwanAs Russia’s illegal war to exterminate the nation of Ukraine slogs into its third devastating month, it has yielded many lessons China can apply to its future war against the nation of Taiwan — and that Taiwanese can exploit for their defense and survival. Xi likely will not repeat Putin’s failure at the outset to use his new very low-yield nuclear weapons to devastate Ukrainian resistance. This will be necessary both to intensify its war in Taiwan, and to attack any U.S and allied forces coming to aid Taiwan. Another Ukraine war lesson must be resolved in Washington. Richard D. Fisher, Jr. is a senior fellow with the International Assessment and Strategy Center.
