Taiwan's position looks increasingly precarious, and tensions
threaten to grow into a major strategic crisis. Chinese President
Xi Jinping has made reunification with Taiwan a central pillar of
his vision for China, and has ramped up diplomatic and economic
pressure on Taiwan. Its inhabitants are increasingly estranged from
the mainland, and Tsai Ing-wen's administration refuses to conduct
relations with China on Beijing's terms. Taiwan could take on
renewed strategic significance amid the backdrop of the deepening
rivalry between China and the United States, and find itself at the
centre of a Cold War-style superpower confrontation. While
Washington's support and military power has historically guaranteed
Taiwan's security, this is no longer a certainty. This Adelphi book
argues that China's military modernisation has changed the
cross-strait military balance, and the ability of the US to prevail
in a conflict over Taiwan may have evaporated by 2030. As China
feels increasingly empowered to retake Taiwan, there is significant
potential for escalation, particularly given the ambiguity of
Beijing's 'red lines' on Taiwan. Neither Beijing, Taipei nor
Washington want such a conflict, but each is challenging the uneasy
status quo. Taylor calls for the introduction of a narrower set of
formal crisis-management mechanisms designed to navigate a major
Taiwan crisis.
