​EAST ASIA PEACE & SECURITY
INITIATIVE

Our mission is educating the public, policymakers, and journalists on the changing regional security architecture, as well as contributing policy analysis and commentary to inform the U.S. approach to regional affairs.  Our primary focus is on the cross-strait relationship and how it shapes other regional issues involving the U.S. and China.

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 2: ​
​Taiwan’s current insistence on China’s democratization is not without reason. China’s communist system has shown repeatedly that it cannot cope with the succession issue. ​

Strait-talk: An In-depth Analysis of​U.S.-PRC-Taiwan​Relations

​written by
​COLONEL (RET.) MONTE R. BULLARD, PHD​

Picture
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 5: ​
​The definition of one China became increasingly important to the point that actions perceived by China to be contrary to the one China principle have interrupted the negotiation process.
Picture
Picture
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 4: ​
Just knowing that nearly all Chinese military actions are designed more for the political consequences than for military results will help to predict future military actions and to prevent serious miscalculations in a future conflict.

Picture
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 1: ​
There is no precedent providing definitions of ‘China’ and ‘one China’...in the U.S.-PRC communiqués the U.S. leaves the concepts undefined, whereas in the TRA the U.S. makes no mention of ‘one China’. It has left the future status of the ROC, the PRC, China, and Taiwan to be determined.

One China, Five 
​Interpretations

​written by
JUDITH M. NORTON, PHD
Picture
Picture
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 2: ​
The PRC's "One China Principle" contains the legal right to use force against Taiwan to resolve issues, while the U.S.'s "One China Policy" also asserts the lawful right to deter the PRC’s use of force against Taiwan. Both the PRC and the U.S. claim these rights are grounded in international law and embed these rights in their domestic laws.​

Making China (and America) Great Again
Picture
Both Presidents Trump and Xi aim to make their countries great again.  Their approaches have some areas of similarities and differences.  In the 21st Century the U.S. needs to avoid underestimating China while ensuring that it sends the right message to China.  We are neither friend nor foe. Rather we are competitors.

The North Korean Nuclear Challenge
Picture
Stopping of the military exercises would cause serious questioning by North Korea and South Korea that the U.S. would respond to a North Korean attack. ​

The Strategic Evolution of China-Taiwan-U.S.
​Military Ties

The salient question is: Why are these incidents, which used to play a larger role in international dialogue, now downplayed? Our interpretation is that we are at a new point in the evolution of military strategies in the planning organizations in all three nations.
