Eyck Freymann on Deterring China and Defending Taiwan
In a discussion focused on the growing strategic challenge surrounding Taiwan, Eyck Freymann examines what the United States and its allies must do to deter China and prevent a potentially devastating conflict in the Indo-Pacific. Drawing on the ideas explored in his book Defending Taiwan: A Strategy to Prevent War with China, Freymann argues that military strength alone is not enough. Effective deterrence requires a coordinated strategy that combines defense capabilities with economic leverage, technological leadership, resilient supply chains, diplomacy, and close cooperation among U.S. allies.
Freymann also highlights the enormous stakes surrounding Taiwan, from its critical role in the global semiconductor industry to its strategic position in the Pacific. Rather than viewing a full-scale invasion as the only potential threat, his work considers a broader range of coercive actions China could employ and emphasizes the importance of preparing before a crisis begins. His central message is that war is not inevitable, but maintaining peace will require the United States and its partners to develop a more comprehensive and credible deterrence strategy.
As one of America’s leading experts on U.S.-China strategic competition, Eyck Freymann brings audiences a timely perspective on how economics, technology, diplomacy, and national security intersect. His ability to translate complex geopolitical challenges into practical insights makes him a valuable speaker for organizations and leaders navigating an increasingly uncertain global environment.
