Taiwanese Views of the United States and China: Evidence from the 2026 American Portrait Survey

Please join the CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies on March 11 from 9am to 10am ET for the online launch of the 2026 American Portrait Survey in Taiwan, a project of Academia Sinica. The survey’s findings shed light on Taiwanese perspectives regarding U.S.-Taiwan relations, China-Taiwan relations, defense spending and deterrence, credibility of the U.S. security commitment to Taiwan, Taiwanese people's willingness to fight in a crisis, and more.

The event will feature discussion with Taiwanese scholars responsible for the 2026 American Portrait Survey, including Dr. Wen-Chin Wu, Research Fellow with the Institute of Political Science at Academia Sinica; David W.F. Huang, Executive Director of the Taiwan Heritage Foundation; Hsin-Hsin Pan, Associate Research Fellow with the Institute of Sociology at Academia Sinica; and James Lee, Assistant Research Fellow with the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica. The event will be moderated by Henrietta Levin, Senior Fellow with the CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies.

This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
