Asian Insider Ep 68: Washington's Taiwan dilemma - worries spike over China's coercive moves
18:09 mins
Synopsis: Every Friday, The Straits Times' US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh presents an Asian perspective of the week's global talking points with expert guests.
While tensions are up over China's moves against Taiwan, fears of an imminent invasion are alarmist, as analyst Bonnie Glaser tells host Nirmal.
Glaser is transitioning to become director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
They discuss the following points:
- Economic pressure on Taiwan could harm China itself (4:11)
- Confidence eroding that Taiwan will reunify with ‘motherland’ (5:58)
- US faces great challenges in coming to defence of Taiwan (8:39)
- Is the risk of conflict between China and Taiwan somewhat exaggerated? (11:08)
- China’s move to block CSIS website was ‘wrong move’ (14:46)
