Punch Newspapers Sections Published 9 March 2021 As the US President Joe Biden seeks a review of the Taiwan policy, he is being advised by a top American think tank to ensure that in case of China deciding to use force to unify Taiwan with the mainland, America should “continue to stand by Taiwan to support a fellow democracy and to maintain US credibility and influence in the Indo-Pacific”. The advice is contained in the February 2021 report of the Rand Corporation, titled, “US Allied and Partner Support for Taiwan: Responses to a Chinese Attack on Taiwan and Potential US Taiwan policy Changes”. The report is the deposition of the Corporation’s expert, Bonny Lin, before the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
