From Professor Dutton:
Since before the end of World War II, US policy concerning the status of Taiwan and its government has shifted along with shifts in the global security dynamics. These policy shifts have left us with challenging international law issues that remain just below the surface of US-China-Taiwan relations. Now, with the People's Republic of China's increased military and economic clout, Chinese leader Xi Jinping's increased pressure on Taiwan to unite with the mainland, and a consequential election in Taiwan next month, the year 2024 may be another one of those strategic turning points. This lecture will trace the history of US policy concerning Taiwan from World War II to the present, including what pressures led to policy shifts, and consider whether the time is ripe for another shift in US policy concerning our relations with and the status of Taiwan.
