SUMMARY:Taiwan’s Economic Security: How is Chip Nationalism Affecting Taiwan?
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | In-Person & Online Event \nDescription: In the wake of the global chip shortage arising from the COVID-19 pandemic\, countries are painfully aware of the supply chain (in)security and rush for semiconductor self-sufficiency. Taiwan sits at the epicenter of this global chip crisis\, and it is worth exploring whether chip nationalism embraced by major countries undermines Taiwan’s economic security. Given that Taiwan is situated at the frontline for China to obtain cutting-edge chips and for the United States to contain China’s efforts in developing the indigenous semiconductor industry\, the panelists will discuss how Taiwan has responded to the CHIP4 initiative advanced by the United States and assess its effectiveness. \nRegistration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:How much money for defense is enough?
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institution | In-Person & Online Event \nDescription: The U.S. spends about $900 billion a year on defense\, which is about 15% of the federal budget\, or roughly 3.3% of the gross domestic product. Given all of today’s national security challenges—Russia\, China\, cybersecurity\, terrorism—is that enough\, more than enough\, or still not quite enough? Could the U.S. buy more security by spending the defense budget more efficiently? In an era of competing budget priorities and growing budget deficits\, what should the Pentagon’s priorities be? On Wednesday\, August 30 the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy and the Strobe Talbott Center for Security\, Strategy\, and Technology will address those questions. Michael O’Hanlon\, a senior fellow\, director of the Talbott Center\, and a self-described “cheap hawk\,” will outline his views on how the Pentagon can improve America’s defense capabilities without large increases in spending. Following O’Hanlon’s presentation\, he will join a panel with Mackenzie Eaglen of AEI and Travis Sharp of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. David Wessel\, director of the Hutchins Center\, will moderate. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:China’s Economic Downturn: Structural\, Cyclical\, or Both?
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies | Online Event \nDescription: Please join the CSIS Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics and the Freeman Chair in China Studies for a roundtable discussion on how best to analyze the Chinese economy with an eye to the future. Sentiment on China’s economy has grown increasingly negative in the past few weeks\, with public discourse variously emphasizing “structural” issues such as debt\, demography\, and China’s deteriorating relationship with the West. This roundtable will clarify the various perspectives and the data on which they are based\, discuss metrics for how to judge the Chinese economy’s performance going forward\, and consider the implications for the United States and the rest of the world. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Time for choices in Niger
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Council | Online Event  \nDescription: Niger and the international community face many choices on the direction of military intervention and governance. One month after the takeover of the Nigerien government by a military coup\, many questions linger for the international community. This event seeks to draw lessons from Niger’s economic hardships\, limited windows of democratic governance\, and assess how the latest coup will affect regional stability. West African states have to make a choice now about how they address this crisis\, which entered a new stage after ECOWAS issued a deadline for Niger to reverse the coup–and it lapsed. As African states and the world watch to see how they respond to the delicate situation\, the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center will be hosting a special event to explore what is currently happening in Niger and in West Africa overall. \nThe registration link can be found below.
