Why China & the US won't go to war over Taiwan
There's been a lot of talk recently about the possibility of the US and China going to war if China invades Taiwan, but as usual, I'm here to dampen the hype and reduce expectations. Let's not rush into WWIII, and instead have a rational conversation about how likely war between the world's foremost superpowers actually is.
Sorry for the delay in episodes, was away with the family over Easter.
Chapters
2:30 What is Taiwan? The One China Policy
05:24 Taiwanese cultural politics and identity
15:20 We would all die
21:20 Pyrrhic victory
27:44: China's other strategy
31:45: Taiwan's situation
41:55: Taiwan is not a priority for the US
48:00 Conclusions
