About This Event

The United States-Taiwan-China relationship is one of the world's most critical geopolitical relationships, with implications that extend far beyond the Taiwan Strait. Experts from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Institute of National Defense and Security Research (INDSR) in Taiwan will discuss recent developments in the relationship, how publics in all three countries think about the relationship, and what those public attitudes mean for policymaking.
