Episode notes
Taiwan: An Unfinished Civil War
- The Taiwan issue is an unresolved civil war between the PRC and ROC, not just a military conflict.
- Both sides claim sovereignty over China, complicating the understanding of Taiwan's status.
China's Military Strategy on Taiwan
- Mainland China aims to defend territorial integrity rather than invade Taiwan as a foreign state.
- Military conflict would erupt only if Taiwan formally declares independence, triggering rapid encirclement by China.

- Global power transition is less about one hegemon replacing another and more about shifting to a multipolar, interconnected world.
- The world resembles a neural network, requiring understanding of interactions over isolated national interests.
