Taiwan

Read and listen to an interview between HKS SPR and Taiwanese Diplomat Charles Liao, Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) of Boston.

“With President Trump in the Oval Office, Taiwan must justify continued American support by implementing large-scale and painstaking military reforms to show how seriously it takes its own defense,” writes Naveen Krishnan (HKS MPP 2026). “Large-scale reforms will align with Trump’s focus on allies becoming more self-reliant and deserving of US sacrifice.”
