Chinese Invasion Threat to Taiwan
The Insitute for Taiwanese Studies presents a talk by Ian Easton based off his book, The Chinese Invasion Threat.
When:
February 10, 2018 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Where
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) carried out 16 drills near Taiwan in the past year. China’s military threat was growing by the day. Frequent and increased Chinese military drills posed an enormous threat to Taiwan’s security. The imbalance of military capabilities between China and Taiwan is a great concern to Taiwan. Facing the military threat from China, what is Taiwan’s Defense and America’s strategy?
Ian Easton is the author of The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan's Defense and American Strategy in Asia, and a research fellow at the Project 2049 Institute. His research focus is defense and security issues in Asia.
During the summer of 2013 he was a visiting fellow at the Japan Institute for International Affairs (JIIA) in Tokyo. Previously, Ian worked as a China analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) for two years. He lived in Taipei from 2005 to 2010, where he worked as a translator for Island Technologies Inc., the Foundation for Asia-Pacific Peace Studies, and the Asia Bureau Chief of Defense News.
He has testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission and given lectures at the Naval War College, Japan's National Defense Academy, and Taiwan's National Defense University.
Ian holds an M.A. in China Studies from National Chengchi University in Taiwan and a B.A. in International Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He studied Chinese at Fudan University in Shanghai, and National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei.
