📣 Event Announcement | Closed Roundtable Discussion

The Taiwan Center for Security Studies (TCSS) and InterRegional for Strategic Analysis will jointly convene a closed online roundtable on 20 July 2026:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝘂𝗹𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼-𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰

Bringing together six scholars and researchers from both institutions, the roundtable will examine the growing strategic interdependence between Gulf security and Indo-Pacific security. The discussion will focus on six interconnected themes:

1. The Gulf and the Indo-Pacific as an Integrated Security Space
2. Maritime Security and Critical Supply Chains
3. Emerging Transnational Security Threats
4. Crisis Management and De-escalation
5. The UAE’s Role in Promoting Regional Stability
6. Future Prospects for Gulf–Indo-Pacific Cooperation

As energy routes, maritime trade, supply-chain resilience, gray-zone threats, cybersecurity risks, and unmanned systems increasingly intersect across regions, the Gulf and the Indo-Pacific can no longer be viewed as separate security theaters.

Drawing on perspectives from both regions, the roundtable will explore the wider implications of regional crises, the security of strategic maritime corridors, the protection of critical infrastructure, and opportunities for deeper Gulf–Indo-Pacific cooperation.

On April 15th and 16th, the Taiwan Center for Security Studies and the Institute of International Relations at National Chengchi University wrapped up the 2026 Tabletop Exercise — two of the most intense, eye-opening days of policy discussion we have had in a long time.

Convened in partnership with the Asia-Pacific Policy Research Association, the 21st Century Foundation, and the Chinese (Taiwan) Society of International Law, the exercise brought together experts and practitioners from government, academia, think tanks, and industry across seven thematic moves over two days — one of the most comprehensive cross-domain security exercises of its kind in Taiwan.

Here is a taste of what came up:

🛡️ Gray zone threats — blockades, drone attacks, and coast guard confrontations. How does Taiwan respond legally and militarily when the situation stays just below the threshold of open conflict?

⚡ Energy fragility — under a blockade scenario, Taiwan's natural gas reserves last just 11 days. The debate around nuclear energy and the 2050 net-zero commitment got heated.

💰 Economic resilience — capital flight, payment system disruption, and the eye-popping figure of USD 700 billion in overseas life insurance asset exposure. Taiwan's financial vulnerabilities under pressure are more complex than most people realize.

🏭 Semiconductor strategy — what happens if TSMC is pressured to move up to 40% of its advanced chip production to American soil? Does Taiwan's "Silicon Shield" weaken if the chips are no longer here?

The big takeaway: Taiwan does not face one big threat — it faces several serious ones hitting at the same time, and the way they compound each other is what makes the challenge so difficult.

A full policy report is coming. Stay tuned. 🇹🇼

The 2026 TTX is a two-day cross-domain tabletop exercise set in the year 2030, bringing together senior military officers, academics, former officials, and international experts to address a single core question: How can Taiwan construct an autonomous national security strategy amid great power rivalry?

The exercise unfolds across seven structured moves spanning two thematic focuses: PRC grey-zone coercion and deterrence on Day 1, and Taiwan's economic strategic autonomy on Day 2.

We are honored to see yesterday's event:【台灣面臨之困局與預應策略】"Taiwan’s Predicament and Adaptive Strategies in the Trump 2.0 Era," featured in the news.

中央社 (CNA) and 聯合新聞網 (UDN) covered our discussion on Taiwan’s future following the President Lai’s new NT$ 1.25 trillion defense-spending package. The reporting featured Legislator and Ret. Adm. Richard Chen's statements about strengthening Taiwan’s defense resilience, while also noting that many details remain to be clarified.

A heartfelt thanks to all the speakers, partners, and participants who made this event possible.
