Washington’s transactional Taiwan policy puts Indo-Pacific at risk, ex-US officials warn

Former U.S. officials warned that Washington’s increasingly transactional Taiwan policy, linked to its stance toward Beijing, threatens stability in the Indo‑Pacific. They also said the ongoing war in Iran is eroding U.S. military readiness for a possible Taiwan Strait conflict. The remarks were made at a Global Taiwan Institute fireside chat in Washington on Wednesday.
