Professor Jeffrey Sachs delivers a powerful warning about the rising danger of a U.S.–China confrontation over Taiwan. He explains how Washington’s decade-long military buildup, alliances like QUAD and AUKUS, and tech export bans have turned Taiwan into a geopolitical flashpoint. Sachs compares Taiwan to Ukraine, arguing that American policymakers risk provoking Beijing in the same way they provoked Moscow — with catastrophic consequences for ordinary people. He highlights China’s historical memory of foreign domination and why reunification is a core issue for Beijing, while the U.S. sees Taiwan as a test of its global credibility. Sachs cautions that one miscalculation by any side could trigger a devastating war, making this one of the most dangerous crises of our time.
