Is Taiwan Pinning Its Strategy on an Outdated Vision of America?
The article analyzes whether Taiwan's strategy of positioning itself as a democratic frontline partner of the United States is sustainable amid generational and political shifts in America. It cites polling data from the Reagan Institute and Pew Research showing younger Americans are less concerned about China as a threat, suggesting the bipartisan consensus on China is 'aging.' The rise of transactional, interest-based foreign policy, exemplified by Donald Trump's comments that Taiwan should pay for US protection and has taken US semiconductor industry, challenges Taiwan's values-based approach. The article recommends Taiwan adopt a strategy similar to Singapore's, focusing on pragmatic national interests rather than relying on an outdated vision of American support rooted in democratic solidarity.
