The increasingly tense rhetoric follows a series of incursions by China into Taiwanese air and naval space.

Today on 7am, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies at the Australian National University Hugh White, on the changing power dynamics in our region, and the risks of war between the US and China.
Guest: ANU Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies, Hugh White.
