On October 8, our Cross-Strait and Beyond seminar on fostering US-Taiwan defense co-production was featured in Aviation Week. The article outlined the event’s panel discussion, which highlighted how co-production could address mutual security concerns in the Indo-Pacific, particularly amid China’s military expansion efforts. Key topics included the potential for joint production of drones and the strategic importance of improving the US-Taiwan defense partnership to counter Chinese influence. Issues such as export licensing, protecting intellectual property, and managing Chinese retaliation were also addressed as significant challenges for moving forward with co-production efforts.
