Taiwan is the most urgent test of whether the United States and its allies can deter China and preserve peace in the Indo-Pacific. Beijing is increasing pressure on Taiwan while exploiting gaps in allied coordination across military, economic, and political policy.
Preventing a crisis will require an integrated strategy, not parallel national efforts.

Building that connective tissue is essential to making deterrence credible and reducing the risk of war.
