Hudson Institute’s China Center and United Microelectronics Corporation founder Robert Tsao will host a conference with experts and policymakers to analyze the People’s Republic of China’s 2005 anti-secession law. The law poses a grave threat to global stability, commerce, free and democratic institutions, and, most of all, Taiwan’s right to self-determination. The conference will promote an international awareness of the law’s far-reaching significance and pernicious impact.
The conference will feature Seventieth Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), former Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO) Political Division Vincent Chao, and more.
