Commentary proposes naval blockade, tripwire forces, and nuclear deterrent to deter China on Taiwan
By
Anders Corr
Summary
This commentary argues that China's gray-zone activities against Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines are undermining the international rules-based order. It proposes three creative strategic responses to deter potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan: a naval blockade of China, an allied tripwire force stationed on Taiwanese soil, and an independent nuclear deterrent for Taiwan. The piece frames these as necessary measures to preserve the liberal international order and protect democratic allies in the Indo-Pacific region.
