Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs and Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council Global China Hub and Indo-Pacific Strategic Initiative Elizabeth Larus is quoted as an expert in Chinese and Taiwan relations by Fox News Digital. The article, titled “Encircling Taiwan was a smokescreen for China’s real goal of convincing US not to intervene,” quoted Larus as saying “China planned the exercises in advance and would have carried them out regardless of what Lai said. The military exercises are intended to wear down Taiwan’s military hardware and personnel. The purposes of the exercises are to threaten Taiwan’s security to the point that the Taiwan people lose confidence in their government and to change the status quo of a Taiwan separate from China.” Read the article.
