In response to members’ requests in a recent survey for briefings from U.S. and Taiwan authorities to help them deal with Cross-Strait challenges impacting the business environment, AmCham Taiwan is launching a new webinar series, “Spotlight on Resilience.” Reference materials and helpful links will also be available under that tab on our website. To maximize participation, most briefings will take place via Webex.
The controversial August visit to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the large-scale Chinese naval exercises around the island that followed significantly raised tensions, fueling concern about further coercive moves from Beijing, including possible military action. Mike Chinoy and Peter Enav, two veteran foreign correspondents with years of experience covering Taiwan/China issues, will break down the risks, especially in the wake of October’s Chinese Communist Party Congress.
