- Summary:
- Report analyzes steps Taiwan should take to bolster the odds in its favor should a conflict with mainland China occur and describes how the United States can most effectively contribute to Taiwan's support in both peace and crisis. Authors conclude that the U.S. and Taiwan can take a number of fairly simple and relatively inexpensive measures--including hardening air bases and other facilities and upgrading the air defense command and control system--that would significantly enhance Taiwan's ability to defend itself against a large-scale Chinese attack.
