What to Know: Has the U.S. unlearned the lessons of Pearl Harbor? China may think so, as it ramps up its bellicose language and actions regarding Taiwan.

The TPPF Take: Taiwan’s continued development as an independent and flourishing democracy with robust human rights threatens the very foundation of the CCP’s legitimacy.

“There are both domestic and strategic reasons for the CCP to order its armed forces to conquer Taiwan,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “When this war comes, will the CCP try to keep the conflict confined to Taiwan, or will it strike out broadly, seeking to preempt Japanese and U.S. forces that might attempt to come to Taiwan’s assistance?”
