National Defense University’s Joel Wuthnow will be discussion guest as seven-week event continues The threat of an invasion by China looms over Taiwan. As the United Kingdom’s news magazine The Guardian reported last week, Taiwan faces an irreconcilable conundrum. Its government wants to continue operating independently without threat of a Chinese invasion. But China and its Communist party have long considered Taiwan part of China — even depicting as such on a 2021 map — and may use force to crush that independence. The 2021 Peace and War Virtual Summit’s session Wednesday will focus on the simmering China-Taiwan relationship. The National Defense University’s Joel Wuthnow will join moderator David Ulbrich, program director and associate professor in Norwich University’s Master of Arts in History and in Military History programs, in a discussion marking the summit’s third week.
