The Institute for National Defense and Security Research (INDSR) and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs (CCGA) have jointly released a groundbreaking public opinion report that explores how Taiwanese and American citizens view the Taiwan Strait situation and bilateral security cooperation. The findings reveal a remarkable consensus: both Taiwanese and Americans overwhelmingly support maintaining the status quo, underscoring a shared commitment to peace and stability. However, significant differences in expectations regarding responses to potential crises highlight the need for closer coordination.

This shared preference for the status quo provides a solid foundation for strengthening US-Taiwan relations across diplomatic, economic, and military dimensions. Yet, the report underscores the importance of enhancing strategic communication to bridge expectation gaps and avoid misunderstandings during times of crisis. By fostering mutual understanding, Taiwan and the United States cannot only deepen their partnership but also contribute to long-term regional stability and safeguard peace in the Taiwan Strait.
