Check out our latest work on Taiwanese defense policy!

"Why does #Taiwan pursue a defense approach that contradicts the advice of its more powerful partner?" In this article, @LinPoyung and @wupolisciusa test four hypotheses: trust, organizational/bureaucratic factors, symbolism, and strategic concerns. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I do sometimes wonder whether Biden's view of the Taiwan commitment comes in part from the fact that Biden was one of the 90 senators that actually voted for the Taiwan Relations Act. For him, it's not an external imposition or only a historical legacy--he was there and voted.

@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp How could this be possible? I refuse to believe this.
