Recording: Taiwan’s Role in Countering CCP Political Warfare

Recording: Taiwan’s Role in Countering CCP Political Warfare

On July 11, 2018, GTI, together with the Sigur Center for Asian Studies at The George Washington University, hosted a panel discussion on “Taiwan’s Role in Countering CCP Political Warfare.” The Trump administration’s 2017 National Security Strategy warned that adversaries “are using information tools in an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of democracies.” Indeed, there is a growing consensus that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is currently engaged in a comprehensive coercive campaign that utilizes political warfare to influence and undermine democracies through coercive, corrupt, and covert means. The impact of China’s authoritarian influence is being felt throughout the world, but most visibly in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Czech Republic, United States, and Taiwan. To be clear, the government in Taiwan has the longest experience contending with CCP political warfare than any other governments. Consequently, Taipei’s counter-measures to this emerging challenge deserves careful study. Our public seminar hosted three experts to talk about this very important and timely issue: Toshi Yoshihara (Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments), Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian (The Daily Beast), and Shanthi Kalathil (National Endowment for Democracy).
