What's Happening Across the Taiwan Straits? #FPABriefings

Foreign Press Association USA

Taiwan local elections gave gains to the KMT which used to rule the island - and indeed China, while across the straits domestic tumult in the PRC could tempt Beijing to divert attention by threatening the island.

Alexander Huang was recently appointed KMT rep in Washington where former ruling party’s voice has been muted since the DPP took power in Taipei. He explains the KMT view on events to FPA correspondents.

Alexander Huang is currently an Associate Professor at the Institute of Strategic Studies at Tamkang University, the Chairman & CEO of the Council on Strategic & Wargaming Studies, and Special Advisor to the Chairman & Director of International Affairs at KMT (Nationalist Party).
