About this talk

Is the Taiwan China wants vanishing? The democratic self-governing territory of Taiwan lives in the shadow of an evermore assertive Communist Party of China which sees the island as a breakaway province that it's vowed to take back force if necessary. But is it really as black and white as a potential full-scale military invasion, and how might evolving identities be shaping China's strategy towards the island? We will discuss the threats posed by China through the lens of changing identities, and how the island's 23 million people are increasingly identifying as Taiwanese and not Chinese - and what this might mean for China and their push for Taiwan.
