Lyle Goldstein, director of the Asia Engagement program at Defense Priorities, said military engagement needs to go well beyond these two sets of talks. “Genuine peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific would require a robust, across-the-board engagement agenda between the security establishments, encompassing coast guards, intelligence communities, and even space and nuclear strategic forces,” he said.
“The obvious question is whether these fragile talks will survive the coming storm over the Taiwan election,” on Jan. 13, Goldstein said. He noted that Beijing seeks to separate the two issues of dealing with Taiwan and dealing with the U.S.
