Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs Elizabeth Freund Larus
In her pre-election analysis, Elizabeth Freund Larus, Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs, indicated that a lot of Americans are upset about inflation, crime, immigration and the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. As a result, everyone had something compelling them to come out and vote in the U.S. Midterm elections.
In Focus Taiwan, Larus projected that the China-Taiwan trilateral relationship will continue to deteriorate after the U.S. Midterm Elections, and that China’s Wolf Warrior diplomacy will continue as diplomats prove their loyalty to Xi Jinping following the CCP’s 20th Party Congress. She also indicated that the Ukraine and Taiwan situations are different and that triangular relations between the U.S., China, and Taiwan will continue to deteriorate regardless of the midterm results. While the U.S. is engaged in offering military assistance to Ukraine, so far U.S. support for Taiwan has been limited to legislation, Congressional visits, and arms sales. Read more.
Larus’ commentary on the subject was also featured on WION India, where she indicated the angst was compelling voters on both sides of the political spectrum to come out and vote in large numbers. Watch now.
