On August 4, 2022, the Heritage Foundation and the US-Taiwan Business Council co-hosted.A Matter of Survival: The Future of Taiwan Arms Sales.

The U.S. is Taiwan’s lifeline, not least because it is the only nation in the world that dares to sell it arms. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and concern about Taiwan’s central node in global supply chains, these sales have assumed renewed and intense attention. Virtually everyone in Washington agrees Taiwan’s security is important to the U.S. Differences, however, have peaked over how best to protect it. At this event we discussed the best way forward.
