Much of the discussion around a U.S. policy response to an attempt by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to take over the Republic of China (Taiwan) has revolved around defending the island from a full-scale invasion. A new report sheds light on what an attempt to take over Taiwan gradually with methods short of war would look like.
The report is from the Coalition Defense of Taiwan, a joint project between the American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for the Study of War. It totals 115 pages and is the result of a year’s worth of meetings with policy experts and government officials. Each step of the takeover scenario it describes is based on careful study of PRC strategic thought and past examples of PRC action.
