China’s sophisticated hybrid warfare is a key aspect of its campaign to undermine Taiwan’s resilience and discourage American involvement in the island’s security. On top of conventional military threats, Beijing uses disinformation and economic leverage to coerce and diplomatically isolate Taiwan. In the event of a crisis, China will likely intensify its use of these tactics to harm the United States military’s readiness and undermine support for intervention among the American populace.

To respond, the US needs to increase its awareness of Beijing’s unconventional playbook, enact measures to bolster Taiwan’s defenses, and strengthen US influence in the Indo-Pacific.

Join Hudson Institute’s China Center and the Taiwan United Nations Alliance (TAIUNA) as Dr. Miles Yu hosts a panel of experts and policymakers on how the US and its partners can strengthen security cooperation to defend Taiwan.
