Kanapathy's Views On China May Be Losing Out In White House
The Trump administration’s recent policy shift on Taiwan has raised questions about the influence of Ivan Kanapathy, a top Asia adviser at the National Security Council. Kanapathy, a longtime China hawk, has advocated for stronger US support for Taiwan, but his views may be at odds with Trump’s more conciliatory approach to Beijing. As Trump prepares to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, the issue of Taiwan’s sovereignty is likely to be a major point of discussion, with significant implications for regional security and US-China relations.
