Listen Later

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

  • Could China actually invade Taiwan? Mike Baker examines the military, political, and geographic realities behind one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints.


    • We explore the enormous challenges Beijing would face in launching an amphibious invasion—from crossing the Taiwan Strait and securing beachheads to sustaining a prolonged military campaign under the threat of U.S. intervention.


      • Finally, we assess the conditions that could trigger a conflict, the warning signs intelligence agencies would be watching for, and whether an invasion is truly China's most likely path to reunification.
