Cited in a Nikkei Asia feature on Asia-Pacific deterrence after the Iran campaign.
Dr. Huang was quoted at length in Nikkei Asia's feature on how Asia-Pacific capitals are reading the Iran campaign. The piece centered on the question of whether the American demonstration of standoff capability strengthens or weakens cross-Strait deterrence.
His position, restated here: the demonstration strengthens deterrence in the short run, because it tightens Beijing's read of U.S. resolve. It weakens deterrence in the long run unless Taipei's own procurement converges with the doctrine the U.S. has now revealed it prefers to use.
