CAPRI’s second public forum featured Dr. Richard Bush, nonresident senior fellow at Brookings, focusing on themes in his recent book Difficult Choices: Taiwan’s Quest for Security and the Good Life and the challenges Taiwan faces in balancing competing priorities when formulating policy. Dr. Bush was joined by Alicia García Herreo, Enoch Wu, and Jiunn-rong Yeh to discuss how to build a resilient future of Taiwan.

In this public forum moderated by Syaru Shirley Lin of the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation and the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, the Pottingers reflect on successes and failures in responding to COVID-19 and ongoing efforts to understand the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to build resilient healthcare systems and improve governance for future crises.
