Strategic clarity also should not be used by the Taiwanese as an excuse or
indication of Washington’s support of independence. The aim of strategic clarity
is simply to prevent the PRC from invading Taiwan, changing the status quo by
force, and maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait.
MOVING FORWARD
A shift to an unambiguous policy signals the US’ sense and grasp of urgency,
prioritisation, and purpose. Allies will be reassured, protections of the rulesbased
order will be strengthened, and the status quo will be maintained. While
clarity does not necessarily guarantee deterrence, it would at its root minimise
the possibility of war through miscalculation. Strategic clarity aims to stop an
invasion before it occurs; strategic ambiguity, a fossil of the Cold War, provides
room for an invasion to occur.
