Taiwan invasion? What does China’s threat mean for global stability?
Webinar
China's growing military capabilities and stated intent to achieve ‘unification’ continue to increase the threat to Taiwan. The status of Taiwan’s sovereignty is an area of tension between China and the US, as well as China and Taiwan’s respective allies and partners. Any potential military conflict would have international security and economic impacts. The breadth and depth of Janes expertise, data, and analysis enable our analysts to deliver unique perspectives on the issue of China-Taiwan relations.
In this webinar Janes analysts Kate Cox, Claire Chu, Jon Grevatt, and F Xavier Casals assess China’s threats against Taiwan in both kinetic and non-kinetic (grey zone) scenarios, covering aspects including:
- Why is incorporating Taiwan into the People’s Republic of China a long-term objective of the Communist Party of China?
- What is the strategic significance of Taiwan? Why does it continue to attract international attention?
- What do China’s military modernisation activities signal in relation to Taiwan?
- How do Taiwan and China’s military capabilities compare? How is Taiwan preparing for an invasion scenario?
- How likely is a Chinese invasion of Taiwan in the coming weeks and months?
- What would the economic, political, and military impacts of a full-scale invasion be?
