Since at least the early 1950s, the entire Asia-Pacific region has
struggled with the complicated and complex relationship between China
and Taiwan--today the Taiwan question is considered a potential
flashpoint for a much larger international conflict. Bringing
together experts from the United States and Taiwan, Assessing the
Threat provides a comprehensive look at the dangers of military
escalation in the Taiwan Strait, the latest advances in capabilities
of the People s Liberation Army, and China s security relationship
with the United States and the Asia-Pacific. There is increasing
concern that Beijing is steadily shifting the balance of power across
the Taiwan Strait in its favor. Recent advances in Chinese air and
naval power, along with changes in PLA doctrine, have the potential
to weaken deterrence and destabilize the cross-strait military
balance. At this critical juncture, there is not question that this
issue requires sustained, detailed analysis and that many measures
can and should be taken to reduce the threat of conflict between
China, Taiwan, and the United States. Assessing the Threat offers
such analysis as well as concrete suggestions and crisis management
practices for government and military leaders in Washington, D.C.,
Beijing, and Taipei.
