Asia Policy has invited a number of distinguished scholars with diverse perspectives to offer their thoughts on these questions in an effort to increase the number of informed voices in the debate over the future of U.S.-Taiwan relations.

As the PLA’s capabilities increase in tandem with China’s rising power and expanding national interests, the PLA is involved in an increasing number and variety of missions in addition to its traditional focus on contingencies in the Taiwan Strait. Released in cooperation with the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, Beyond the Strait explores these other missions and objectives, which include disaster and humanitarian relief, United Nations peacekeeping operations (UNPKO), counterterrorism and border defense, and outer space and cyberspace security. Chapter authors consider the interplay between China's armed forces and its increasingly complex foreign policy and international security environment. They shed light on how these interactions affect China’s policy toward the wider Asia-Pacific region and the implications for U.S. strategic interests.
