About this listen
President Trump says he’ll soon decide what to do about US weapons sales to Taiwan - and that decision matters far beyond the island itself.
In this episode, I break down the full story: how the Chinese Civil War created two rival governments, why the US recognised Beijing in the 1970s while continuing to support Taiwan unofficially, and what the “Six Assurances” mean today.
I explain why Taiwan is so important:
- Economically
- Geopolitically
- Reputationally
If during the Cold War the US prioritised Europe, today the strategic focus is the Indo-Pacific - and Taiwan is central to that shift.
