Abstract
미ㆍ중 간 전략경쟁이 심화되는 가운데 대만해협을 둘러싼 긴장이 고조되고 있다. 러시아-우크라이나 전쟁(2022)과 이스라엘-팔레스타인 전쟁(2023)으로 국제 정세의 불확실성도 증대되는 상황이다. 미국 외교협회(CFR)는 2021년부터 대만을 ‘가장 위험도가 높은 지역’으로 지정하였다. 미국 군ㆍ정보 수뇌부와 학계는 2027년 양안 간 군사적 충돌 가능성을 경고했으며, 이에 따라 중국의 대만 침공 시 미국의 개입을 상정하는 다수의 보고서들이 제기되었다. 중국은 차이잉원 총통 집권기(2016~23년)에 낸시 펠로시 미 하원의장의 대만 방문 시점을 시작으로 라이칭더 총통 취임(2024년~현재) 이후 세 차례를 포함해 현재까지 총 네 차례에 걸쳐 대만해협을 둘러싼 대규모 군사훈련을 감행했다. 이어 트럼프 2기 행정부는 2025년 3월 발표한 「국방전략 지침 잠정안(INDSG)」을 통해 중국의 영향력 확대와 대만 점령 시도 저지를 언급하였다. 이렇듯 대만 민진당 정부의 독립 노선 강화, 미국의 대만에 대한 우호 법령 제정 및 무기 판매 증가, 중국의 무력 통일 가능성 천명 등이 복합적으로 작용하며 ‘미-중-대만’ 간 정치ㆍ외교적 불안정성이 가중되고 있다. 특히 첨단 반도체 기술을 갖춘 대만의 기정학(技政學)적 가치가 더욱 부상하며 미ㆍ중 갈등 역시 가속화되는 양상을 보인다. As strategic competition between the United States and China intensifies, tensions in the Taiwan Strait are escalating. The wars in Ukraine (2022) and between Israel and Palestine (2023) have further heightened global uncertainty. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has designated Taiwan as the most dangerous region since 2021. U.S. military, intelligence leaders, and academic experts have warned of potential military conflict over Taiwan by 2027, and numerous reports assume U.S. intervention in the event of a Chinese invasion. China has conducted four large-scale military exercises around the Taiwan Strait since the visit of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during President Tsai Ing-wen’s administration (2016–2023) and following the inauguration of President Lai Ching-te (2024–present). The Trump administration’s second term further underscored China’s expanding influence and its ambitions regarding Taiwan in its Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance (INDSG) released in March 2025. Against this backdrop, the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) strengthened pro-independence stance, increased U.S. legislative and military support, and China’s declaration of possible military unification have collectively exacerbated political and diplomatic instability among the United States, China, and Taiwan. In particular, Taiwan’s geostrategic value—bolstered by its advanced semiconductor technology—is gaining prominence, further intensifying U.S.-China rivalry.
