To help you stay informed about the rapidly changing and very dangerous situation in Ukraine, NSF will be hosting a series of Special Topics Panel Discussions with subject matter experts. These will be scheduled approximately every two weeks (more often as required). We are creating a new Ukraine War resource blog page on the NSF website where we will post timely information and thought pieces from different perspectives. I also encourage you to send topic requests, questions, and concerns to me at: [email protected]
NSF will host our third War in Ukraine Special Topics Panel Discussion on Thursday, April 14th 0900-1015 PST focused on the implications of the war on US-China relations and the future of Taiwan. Our lead speaker will be Dr. Thomas Fingar, Shorenstein APARC Fellow, at Stanford University. Dr. Fingar will provide context about how the war is affecting US-China economic and political relations and how current actions by Russia is shaping China’s view on Taiwan’s ongoing aspirations to maintain some level of autonomy from Beijing. Tom will also examine how the growing alliance between Russia and China, codified again on Feb 4, 2022, in joint statement issued just prior to the start of the Beijing Olympics, informs China’s response to the war and what (if any) additional actions the United States can/should take in response to China’s support for Russia. NSF contributor, Rae Huffstutler, will discuss options and consequences the US in countering China’s alliance with Russia.
