The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 has been met by a variety of coordinated economic, diplomatic, and security responses by NATO and U.S. allies and partners worldwide, including Taiwan. The crisis has also sparked debate about the future of China-Taiwan relations and the United States’ role in a potential cross-Strait conflict. To unpack the implications of the Ukraine crisis for China, Taiwan, and the United States, we talk with Dr. Robert Sutter, Professor of Practice of International Affairs at The George Washington University.
