Generations later, Taiwan faces arguably heightened risk of communist invasion: Will China, spurred on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, make a similar move on Taiwan? What should Taiwan be doing to better defend itself? And what should the world be doing to prevent this ‘strategic asset’ from falling into Chinese communist hands? See Part One: In the first part of this two part feature, we looked at the bearing the Russia-Ukraine war has on Taiwan’s sovereignty.
