The CFR blurb promoting the report quotes the report: &#8220;We do not think it is politically or militarily realistic to count on a U.S. military defeat of various kinds of Chinese assaults on Taiwan, uncoordinated with\u202fallies. Nor is it realistic to presume that, after such a frustrating clash, the United States would or should simply escalate to some sort of wide-scale war against China with comprehensive blockades or strikes against targets on the Chinese mainland.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They state that Taiwan\u202f&#8221;is\u202fbecoming the most dangerous flash\u202fpoint in the world for a possible war that involves the United States, China, and probably other major powers.&#8221; They express a level of panic that the U.S. can no longer dictate global policy, and their proposals for U.S. actions show significant desperation. The U.S., they say, should: \u201caffirm that it is not trying to change Taiwan\u2019s status; work with its allies, especially Japan, to prepare new plans that could challenge Chinese military moves against Taiwan and help Taiwan defend itself, yet put the burden of widening a war on China; and visibly plan, beforehand, for the disruption and mobilization that could follow a wider war, but without assuming that such a war would or should escalate to the Chinese, Japanese, or American homelands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They conclude: &#8220;The horrendous global consequences of a war between the United States and China, most likely over Taiwan, should preoccupy the Biden team, beginning with the president.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bush-leaguers Warn U.S. Would Lose a War with China Over Taiwan April 22, 2021 (EIRNS)&#8211;Two leading members of the CFR from the Bush administrations, Robert Blackwill and Philip Zelikow, have released a document under the title \u201cThe\u202fUnited States, China, and Taiwan: A Strategy to Prevent War,\u201d calling for the U.S. to stand firmly behind Taiwan [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":73197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[640,633,505,508,641,33],"tags":[842],"class_list":["post-73195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-china","category-color-revolutions","category-updates","category-updates-geopolitics","category-united-states","category-updates-war","tag-lang-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73195"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73207,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73195\/revisions\/73207"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
