Pres. Trump is pursuing a dangerous U-turn on Taiwan. @ryanl_hass is right—a major loss of credibility for the U.S. and win for China if Trump blocks the arms sale package. @BrookingsChina

Sharing brief thoughts on Trump’s Taiwan gambit. I argue Trump’s approach, if acted on, would be a shift from deterrence to dealmaking in a domain where there is no deal to be made, beyond offering unilateral concessions that undermine US credibility. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/trumps-dangerous-taiwan-gamble/?b=1
