This Is Not A Drill with Gavin Esler

How one island shapes the US-China rivalry


Listen Later

The transformation of China in the past quarter of a century has seen the nation become one of the world’s dominant powers alongside the United States. 


At the centre of this changing global balance lies the future of Taiwan, both separated from and inextricably linked to China. 


In the latest This Is Not A Drill, Gavin Esler asks what the Taiwan question tells us about the future of an ideological and economic rivalry, as China expert Kerry Brown discusses his new book The Taiwan Story, How A Small Island Will Dictate The Global Future. 


And to find out how we got here, Oriana Skylar Mastro, fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University, discusses her book Upstart: How China Became A Great Power, to chart China’s economic explosion, growing military power and expanding global influence.
