Taipei, Taiwan
The Biden administration has sent two high-ranking former officials to Taiwan to convene with the new Lai administration in Taiwan. This marks a normal part of the status quo with the caveat that with the higher stakes at play this time around, the American envoys are of higher rank than previously, showing American commitment to regional stability and peace, and very possibly a desire to deepen the relationship between the two countries, both economically and diplomatically. The issue of cognitive warfare is also on the table, undoubtedly a concern for the USA with the elections just around the corner, and an increasingly aggressive and domineering China growing its capacity to engage in election interference towards the world’s democracies. One might say Taiwan and the US are embracing a shared fate as global democracies, with every intention of leading the democratic world in the times ahead.
