The Taiwan fixation: American strategy shouldn’t hinge on an unwinnable war

By: Kavanagh,Jennifer and Wertheim, Stephen.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Foreign Affairs Description: 104(2), Mar-Apr, 2025: p.90-105. In: Foreign AffairsSummary: The fate of Taiwan keeps American policymakers up at night, and it should. A Chinese invasion of the island would confront the United States with one of its gravest foreign policy choices ever. Letting Taiwan fall to Beijing would dent Washington’s credibility and create new challenges for U.S. military forces in Asia. But the benefits of keeping Taiwan free would have to be weighed against the costs of waging the first armed conflict between great powers since 1945. Even if the United States prevailed—and it might well lose—an outright war with China would likely kill more Americans. -Reproduced https://www.foreignaffairs.com/taiwan/taiwan-fixation-kavanagh-wertheim
