Newsham speaks on Hoover Institution panel discussing China-Taiwan tensions
Editor’s Note: CSP Senior Fellow Grant Newsham spoke on a panel hosted by the Hoover Institution discussing Xi Jinping and China’s increasing tensions with Taiwan.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has openly expressed his intention to annex Taiwan to mainland China, even threatening the use of force. An invasion or blockade of Taiwan by Chinese forces would be catastrophic, with severe consequences for democracies worldwide. In The Boiling Moat, a new book from the Hoover Institution Press, Matt Pottinger and a team of scholars and distinguished military and political leaders urgently outline practical steps for deterrence. The authors stress that preventing a war is more affordable than waging one and emphasize the importance of learning from recent failures in deterrence, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
