Washington, DC, July 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/b><\/p>\n


The Taiwan Freedom Project Will Uphold\u00a0<\/b>
a Free and Open Indo-Pacific by Winning in the Information Domain<\/b>

\u00a0\u00a0 July 3 <\/i><\/b>Sponsored Special Section in The Washington Times is First in a Series to Explain Why Taiwan is \u2018The Most Important Geopolitical Question Facing America\u2019<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

America and its allies must \u201cembrace the full spectrum of statecraft\u201d to preserve the freedom, peace, sovereignty and prosperity of Taiwan for decades to come, the\u00a0Taiwan Freedom Project<\/b> says in its inaugural publication of sponsored content in The Washington Times.<\/i><\/p>\n

The 32-page special section, \u201cWhy Taiwan Matters, Now More Than Ever,\u201d features more than two dozen analyses about the extraordinary advancements of Taiwan and the threat against it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe Taiwan to be the most important geopolitical question facing America and the free world. We started the Taiwan Freedom Project<\/b> to seize the intellectual and moral high ground in the battle of narratives against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),\u201d said Tom McDevitt,<\/b> chairman of The Washington Times<\/i>. \u201cMany thanks to the excellent roster of contributors for this edition. We encourage our readers to take time to read, share the content, and get engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis edition is the first in a series and is intended to be an educational resource for citizen leaders, empowering them to find their voice in defense of freedom against totalitarianism,\u201d said Ian Everhart<\/b>, managing editor of the Taiwan special section. \u201cThis and future publications will also be translated into Mandarin,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The inaugural special section is organized into three parts:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leading off \u201cWhy Taiwan Matters, Now More than Ever<\/b>,\u201d are contributions by the bipartisan leadership of the House Select Committee on China, Chairman Rep. John Moolenaar<\/b> and Ranking Member Rep. Ro Khanna<\/b>. In their \u201cTen More for Taiwan\u201d report, they provide a roadmap for strengthening US relations with Taiwan and deterring aggression by the CCP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have featured key voices from Taiwan, including remarks from Taiwan\u2019s President Lai Ching-te<\/b> about responding to China\u2019s expansionism, gray zone warfare and maritime intrusions; Taiwan\u2019s Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim<\/b> about Taiwan\u2019s peace through strength initiative, and its essential contributions to world prosperity; Deputy Minister of Taiwan\u2019s Mainland Affairs Council Shen Yu-chung <\/b>about countering the CCP\u2019s escalating legal and psychological warfare and transnational repression; and Taiwan\u2019s Ambassador Alexander Tah-ray Yui <\/b>marking the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 30th anniversary of Taiwan\u2019s first direct presidential election, in which he explains how the two milestones are \u201cstrengthening the bonds of our partnership.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other highlights are articles by Iris Shaw<\/b>, director of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Mission in the United States; ChiuFen McDevitt,<\/b> a founding partner of the Taiwan Freedom Project; Minly Sung<\/b> and Kuei-Ling Chen<\/b> of the Taiwanese Association of America; Jeffrey Scott Shapiro,<\/b> former D.C. prosecutor and Washington Times<\/i> board member; entrepreneur Orina Chang, <\/b>associate dean at the School of Banking and Finance at National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan; Dr. Eugenia Henry<\/b>, president of the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America; pharmacist Bay-Mao \u201cBill\u201d Wu<\/b>, chairman of the advisory board of the North America Taiwanese Professors’ Association; and Anna Wang, <\/b>founder of Shining Light Media<\/p>\n

Rep. Christopher H. Smith<\/b>, co-chair of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), leads \u201cThe Threat and the Consequences<\/b>,\u201d and calls for support for the bicameral, bipartisan Transnational Repression Policy Act, which \u201cwould define the abuse, improve coordination, train officials, support targeted communities and hold perpetrators accountable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is followed by Miles Yu<\/b>, director of the China Center at the Hudson Institute; Bo Tedards<\/b>, advisor to the DPP; Gerrit van der Wees<\/b>, East Asia history professor at George Mason University in Virginia; Piero A. Tozzi<\/b>, senior director of China policy at the America First Policy Institute; and independent journalist and political commentator Stan Kwiatkowski.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, in \u201cWhat is to be Done?<\/b>\u201d our experts provide practical, innovative and time-tested solutions to achieve victory, with contributions by John Dotson<\/b>, director of the Global Taiwan Institute; Dr. John Lenczowski<\/b>, founder of the Institute of World Politics; a second appearance by Piero A. Tozzi; <\/b>Dr. Frank Kaufmann<\/b>, director of the International Freedom Alliance; Dr. Yao-Yuan Yeh<\/b>, director of the Taiwan & East Asia Studies Program at the University of St. Thomas in Houston; Jason Hsu<\/b>, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute; Rear Admiral (Ret.) U.S. Navy Mark Montgomery,<\/b> senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Robert Tsao<\/b>, founder of the United Microelectronics Corporation; and closing with Washington Times<\/i> national security correspondent Bill Gertz<\/b>, author of \u201cDeceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China\u2019s Drive for Global Supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
