The Taiwan Question | GSF 2022: Age of Instability

September 22, 2022 – Will China invade Taiwan? What would that mean for us and the global economy? The resurgence of Chinese grey zone operations in and around Taiwanese territory, shifting U.S. policy towards the island, and the conflict in Ukraine have brought the Taiwan question front and center once again in our global security concerns. These panelists bring their respective military strategy and macroeconomic perspectives to answer the big question.
