While Xi Jinping has the ambition to reunite Taiwan with mainland China during his tenure in office, he must weigh the risks of doing so through the use of force. Simultaneously, American policymakers must play a larger role in supporting Taiwan. Beyond aiding Taiwan’s military capability, the United States will need to strengthen Taiwan’s economic competitiveness, international participation, and confidence to ensure it remains a democratic polity in Asia.
