Both the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis had one thing in common: crises between the world's superpowers possessing nuclear weapons. This study compared and analyzed the two cases by applying the ‘nuclear crisis model of Bell and Macdonald’, and in particular, related the 3rd Taiwan Strait crisis to today's US-China conflict to examine the possibility of escalating the crisis and ways to resolve it. Bell's and Macdonald's nuclear crisis model explanatory variables were applied respectively, and a common denominator was analyzed to seek a direction on how to deal with the nuclear crisis situation in the future phase of US-China conflict over the Taiwan Strait. Also, through this, we discussed how to resolve the conflict between the two countries in the event of a strategic conflict between the ‘Indo-Pacific strategy’ and ‘One Belt One Road strategy’ between the US and China. The solution we need to move forward is to lead the declaration supporting peace and stability in East Asia, and in the long run, to continue to uphold the 'one China' policy mentioned in the establishment of diplomatic ties between Korea and China as it is a promise between the countries, and the Taiwan issue. Non-political cooperation with Taiwan and the United States related to this will continue.
