Security Council

Rising tensions in the Asia-Pacific region

The UN Security Council is a critical component of the United Nations, tasked with maintaining international peace and security. Composed of 15 members, including five permanent members—China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—it wields significant power, including the authority to impose sanctions and authorize the use of force.

The tension, rooted in the Chinese Civil War, remains very high, with China claiming sovereignty over Taiwan while Taiwan operating as a separate, self-governed entity. More and more prominent analysts point towards Taiwan as the next arena of geopolitical competition that may threaten international peace. Moreover, Taiwan's crucial position in the global semiconductor industry, manufacturing vital components for everything from smartphones to military aircraft, intensifies the economic urgency of the political conflict. With global supply chains at risk and increasing friction between Beijing and Taipei, the stakes are at an all-time high.
