Please join the Renewing American Innovation Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a discussion of Chris Miller’s new book Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology. CSIS Senior Adviser, Charles Wessner, will be joined by Chris Miller to discuss the decades-long battle to control what has emerged as the world’s most critical resource- microchip technology -with the United States and China increasingly in conflict. Chris Miller is Associate Professor of International History at The Fletcher School at Tufts University. He also serves as Jeane Kirkpatrick Visiting Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Eurasia Director at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and as Director at Greenmantle, a New York and London-based macroeconomic and geopolitical consultancy.

Report Launch―The First Battle of the Next War: Wargaming a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan #CenterForStrategicAndInternationalStudies #CounterTerrorism #CSIS #CSISdc #NationalSecurity #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

Please join the CSIS International Security Program for the launch of a new report titled The First Battle of the Next War: Wargaming a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan by Mark Cancian, Matthew Cancian, and Eric Heginbotham. This event will feature a presentation by the report’s authors and a panel discussion with Lt Gen David A. Deptula USAF (Ret.), Becca Wasser, and Professor William S. Murray. What was once unthinkable—direct conflict between the United States and China—has now become a commonplace discussion in the national security community. Although Chinese plans are unclear, a military invasion is not out of the question and would constitute China’s most dangerous solution to its “Taiwan problem.” This CSIS project designed a wargame to model a Chinese amphibious invasion of Taiwan in 2026 and ran it 24 times in a variety of scenarios. Although Taiwan survived as an autonomous entity in most scenarios, losses to the United States, Taiwan, and Japan were heavy. Insights across the 24 game iterations included the vulnerability of surface ships, the massive coalition aircraft losses on the ground, the effectiveness of long-range antiship missiles, the critical importance of Taiwanese ground forces, and the need for access to operating bases in Japan. Based on the insights, the project makes a variety of recommendations to strengthen deterrence. This event is made possible by the Smith Richardson Foundation (SRF).———————————————A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
