Adapting US Strategy to Account for China’s Transformation Into a Peer Nuclear Power David O. Shullman, John K. Culver, Kitsch Liao, & Samantha Wong Summary: This report discusses China's transformation into a peer nuclear power and the implications for U.S. strategy, particularly in a potential conflict over Taiwan. It highlights the risk of China using nuclear weapons first if an invasion of Taiwan fails, emphasizing the need for better communication and a reassessment of U.S. assumptions about China's strategic decisions. The report suggests the United States and its allies should express their concerns about China's nuclear expansion and lack of transparency, while also encouraging other nations to urge China for greater transparency.
