As the final days of 2021 draw to a close, the United States and Taiwan are no closer to clarity on the question of whether the US will militarily support Taiwan if China attacks. Despite ongoing threats from China and increasing displays of PLA military strength in the region, the US continues to cling to the Taiwan Relations Act as their guiding principle, a principle that is too ambiguous to be useful against the modern-day threat of Xi Jinping’s regime.
Why might the US be resisting a formal change of policy toward Taiwan despite the advancing threat posed by China? And what is the biggest America’s biggest misjudgement of the cross strait relations? Simone will give her perspective in this episode.

His views are unconventional, but highly valuable. You can watch the full interview here:

US-Taiwan Business Council President Rupert Hammond-Chambers breaks down the key issues surrounding this election and the situation in the Taiwan Strait on the eve of this historic event.

Beijing says China's GDP grew 5.2%, but people don't believe it. Why not? Because China's real estate market is collapsing, imports and exports are stagnating, and unemployment has skyrocketed.
