Both the United States and Taiwan generate a wealth of public opinion data that provides insights on trends in cross-Strait and U.S.-Taiwan relations and other key domestic issues. With growing uncertainty following the 2024 U.S. and Taiwan elections, understanding these trends will be vital for policymakers, analysts, and anyone interested in the future of Taiwan and the wider Indo-Pacific region.  

On January 9, the Center for Asia Policy Studies at Brookings and National Chengchi University’s Election Study Center will host a panel of experts for an analytical discussion examining public opinion trends in the United States and Taiwan regarding Taiwan, cross-Strait issues, and foreign policy trends more broadly. The panel will explore factors influencing shifts in public opinion and whether these shifts might impact policy in Taiwan and the United States going forward.
