Eyck Freymann on the Stakes of Defending Taiwan
In a recent Washington Post column, George F. Will examines the stakes of a potential Chinese takeover of Taiwan through the lens of WWSG speaker Eyck Freymann’s new book, Defending Taiwan: A Strategy to Prevent War with China. Freymann argues that Taiwan’s forced submission to Beijing could produce far-reaching consequences, affecting U.S. credibility, the security architecture of the Indo-Pacific, global technology supply chains, and the strategic calculations of American allies such as Japan and South Korea.
The piece also highlights Freymann’s analysis of the many forms a Taiwan crisis could take—from continued “gray-zone” pressure and economic coercion to a quarantine, blockade, or full-scale invasion. Rather than treating deterrence as a purely military challenge, Defending Taiwan presents an integrated strategy combining military preparedness with economic, technological, diplomatic, and political tools. Freymann emphasizes that credible deterrence also depends on logistics, allied coordination, and contingency planning before a crisis begins.
Eyck Freymann brings audiences a deeply researched perspective on China, Taiwan, U.S. strategy, and the changing balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. His ability to connect military strategy with economics, technology, diplomacy, and global business makes him a compelling voice for organizations navigating geopolitical uncertainty.
