Defending Taiwan: A Strategy to Prevent War with China

byEyck Freymann

Eyck Freymann develops a strategy for preventing conflict over Taiwan that extends beyond military preparedness. Drawing on Chinese sources and research in economics, technology, diplomacy, and security, he examines scenarios ranging from coercion and quarantine to blockade and invasion. His argument links credible defense with resilient supply chains, coordinated alliances, and economic planning for a severe crisis. The book considers how the United States and its partners can discourage aggression without assuming that financial interdependence alone guarantees peace, while preparing for the consequences if deterrence breaks down.
