Over the past few months, CAPRI has evaluated in multiple ways how the increasing US–China rivalry has affected Asia-Pacific countries, particularly Taiwan, and how they can enhance their resilience. This includes a book chapter in Strategic Asia 2023, a panel in the 2nd CAPRI Annual Forum, and an opinion piece in The Diplomat.

Beyond the Blame Game: De-risking Through Strengthened Asia-Pacific Cooperation

In an opinion piece published in The Diplomat on June 20 after this year’s G7 Summit, research associate Siwei Huang argues that Asian economies were among the first to recognize the risk of overdependence on China, and policymakers across the Pacific need to enhance coordination in formulating and implementing policy responses. Drawing insights from a panel at the 2nd CAPRI Annual Forum, this article highlights the need for resilient partnerships in the Asia-Pacific to navigate economic derisking amid US–China rivalry.
