1 WHY TAIWAN S DEFENSE SPENDING HAS FALLEN AS CHINA S HAS RISEN Kharis Templeman Taiwan Democracy Project CDDRL, FSI, Stanford University Based on research w/ Gary Uzonyi and Tom Flores 1
2 US DOD REPORT ON THE PEOPLE S REPUBLIC OF CHINA Preparing for potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait remains the focus and primary driver of China s military investment Report, p. 1. 2
3 US DOD REPORT ON THE PEOPLE S REPUBLIC OF CHINA PRC 2014 official military budget: 9.3% increase, to US $136 bn. Unofficial estimates: >US $165 bn. Taiwan s defense budget in 2014 was US $10.3 bn. (about 2% of GDP) 3

7 THE PUZZLE: IF the PRC s military budgets are rising by 10% a year the PLA is acquiring credible new capabilities to threaten Taiwan s security, and the PRC is explicit that it will use force against Taiwan if the island declares independence then why has Taiwan s defense spending declined so much? 7
8 PREVIEW: DEMOCRACY DID IT Crowding out effect: intensified demands for nondefense spending Divided government effect: new weapons packages blocked in legislature Burden-shifting effect: greater reliance on US alliance, less deference to US demands 8
9 WHERE WE RE HEADED The Data: Are They Wrong? Existing Theories: State Responses to External Threats Our Explanation: Democracy Did It Implications 9
10 THE DATA: TAIWAN S DEFENSE SPENDING 10
11 TAIWAN DATA: YEARBOOK OF FINANCIAL STATISTICS Better source than MND reports back to 1950s Includes total & central budgets Includes actual & budgeted spending Broad spending categories: defense, education, etc. 11

15 Nominal New Taiwan Dollars (billions) Total Government Defense Expenditures Actualized Annual Expenditure by Final Accounts, * Year *FY2000 spans 18 months Source: ROC Yearbook of Financial Statistics, various years 15
16 TO SUM UP Real defense spending has fallen from 6% of GDP in 1980 to 2% now Defense share of total government spending has fallen from about 30% in 1980 to about 11% now Even in nominal terms (unadjusted for inflation), Taiwan s actualized spending on defense was higher in 1994 than it was in
17 EXISTING THEORIES 17
18 IR THEORIES PREDICT In the face of a rising threat, states will pursue one of three strategies: 1. Arming: build up one s own defense capabilities to deter the hostile state 2. Allying: seek new allies, give up some policy autonomy in exchange for security 3. Bargaining: negotiate with threatening state to preserve security 18
19 THE CHINA THREAT: HOW SERIOUS? 1996: Taiwan Strait crisis 2000: Chen Shui-bian elected 2004: Chen Shui-bian reelected, PRC warns against chaos in Taiwan 2005: Anti-Secession Law passed 2008: Ma Ying-jeou elected 19
20 ALLIES: THE US IS IT 1954: US-ROC Mutual Defense Treaty signed 1979: US switches recognition to PRC, announces end of treaty 1979: Taiwan Relations Act passed: US views use of non-peaceful means as grave threat to the security of the Western Pacific. 20
21 ALLIES: THE US IS IT US policy since early 1980s fundamentally unchanged: Deliberately ambiguous about whether it would aid Taiwan in event of hostile action against it by PRC, so as not to encourage declaration of independence But also maintains extensive informal ties, continues to provide weapons to Taiwan Taiwan has added no other allies 21
22 BARGAINING?: NOT FROM ! Both Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian considered splittists by Beijing harbored pro-independence views Little official dialog across the Strait; US role in constraining Taiwan leaders Ma Ying-jeou era (2008-present): much more communication, negotiation, cooperation. E.g. direct cross-strait flights a reality now. Bargaining can t explain pre-2008 behavior. 22
23 TO SUM UP: TAIWAN S RESPONSE TO THE CHINA THREAT HAS BEEN No new arming No new allies No bargaining (at least until recently) What s going on? > Rising threat from PRC > Swamped by effect of democratization 23

28 DEMOCRACY AND DEFENSE BUDGETS IN TAIWAN 28
29 DEFENSE BUDGETS DECLINED UNDER DEMOCRACY BECAUSE: 1. Social welfare spending crowded out defense 2. Divided government blocked new spending 3. Elections increased incentives and ability to burdenshift 29
30 CROWDING-OUT EFFECT Politicians respond to electoral competition by promising new social spending: National Health Insurance Social Security Unemployment benefits 30
31 CROWDING-OUT EFFECT Immense pressure from the DPP has forced the government to set up more social welfare services in recent years and to pass several laws providing better assistance to the elderly, handicapped, and others in need. Social welfare has thus become a major issue in elections. The KMT has recognized the usefulness of social welfare as an effective tool to enhance its chance of success and has frequently adopted social welfare polices previously promoted by the DPP. - Christian Schaeffer, 2003, The Power of the Ballot Box 31
32 Total Govt Expenditure: Defense vs Welfare Share of Actualized Annual Expenditure, Share of spending Defense General Welfare Year Source: ROC Yearbook of Financial Statistics 32
33 DIVIDED GOVERNMENT EFFECT : DPP president, KMT-led legislature President Chen favors increased defense spending; KMT does not Legislature s approval needed for new special budgets Budgets repeatedly rejected 33
34 DIVIDED GOVERNMENT: AN EXAMPLE 2001: Bush administration approves 12 weapons packages for sale to Taiwan 2004: Chen admin introduces US$18.2 bn special budget to acquire submarines, P-3 aircraft, Patriot anti-missile batteries : Rejected over two dozen times in LY 2007: $300 mil budget passes, P-3s purchased 34
35 Total vs Central Government Defense Expenditures Share of Spending, Share of Spending Cent Govt Budget Share Total Govt Actualized Share Year Source: ROC Yearbook of Financial Statistics, various years 35
36 BURDEN-SHIFTING EFFECT US-Taiwan alliance is asymmetric Danger is that weaker members shirk; NATO has written rules requiring members to spend >2% of GDP on defense US-Taiwan alliance has no such thing informal Assertive legislature strengthens Taiwan s bargaining position Taiwan is increasingly dependent on US protection 36
37 IMPLICATIONS 37
38 FOR POLITICAL SCIENTISTS International relations research demonstrates that regime type matters. Democracies behave differently. Less prominent: transitions to democracy fundamentally change regime behavior. The Taiwan case tells us: the democratization effect is strong! Swamps rising external threat. 38
39 Defense Spending Autocracies Democracies democratization External Threat 39
40 FOR US POLICY-MAKERS The US should be worried. Taiwan is burdenshifting, increasingly dependent on the US security umbrella. Lack of formal alliance terms makes it easier for Taiwan to shirk. Changing these trends will require going through the legislature. Not enough anymore to trust president or party leaders to deliver. 40
41 LEGISLATIVE POLITICS IN TAIWAN Committee structure: frequent change, members chosen by lots Short time horizons: reelection rate much lower than US Little expertise on defense issues: no electoral payoff 41
42 FOR TAIWAN Long-term challenges: Aging population, low birthrates Rising pressure on social spending programs Rising wealth inequality, high college grad unemployment Uncertainty about economic model: small state, tradedependent on PRC Tax take as share of GDP in 2014: Canada: 32.5% Australia: 25% Japan: 28.3% South Korea: 26.8% Philippines: 14.4% Taiwan: 12.4% 42
