Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Compared with previous years, the situation in the Taiwan Strait
area looks quiet as we enter 2007. Most assume that with the
Olympics scheduled for China in 2008, that quiet will prevail, at
least for a while. But, as the most recent Defense Department
report on the People's Liberation Army points out, the number of
missiles aimed at Taiwan continues to increase, while Chinese
attack capabilities grow and Taiwan's deterrent erodes amid
partisan political wrangling. Our panel of experts will discuss the
overall situation, the military and political equations, and what
it means for America and the region.
