The island stands at the regional geostrategic and geoeconomic frontlines, challenging China\u2019s regime legitimacy and hegemonic ambition, emerging as a tiger economy in the 20th century, and now securing its role as an advanced technology production powerhouse. Today, as the geopolitical competition between the United States and China heats up in the Indo-Pacific, Taiwan\u2019s role has grown even more crucial while the island\u2019s security circumstances have become ever more precarious.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ETo discuss these challenging conditions facing Taiwan and help chart a roadmap looking forward, this symposium brings together panelists, each an expert in their field, to create a nexus of thought and discussion on the topic. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EThe symposium covers two critical aspects of Taiwan\u2019s role in the Indo-Pacific geopolitical competition.
