The Inquiry podcast, hosted by Tanya Beckett, explores the question of whether Donald Trump cares about Taiwan, given its strategic importance and the rising tensions with China. The podcast features insights from four experts: Dr. Chun-yi Lee discusses Taiwan's growing national identity and its relationship with China, Christopher Chivvis analyzes America's strategic ambiguity and economic interests in Taiwan, Patricia Kim examines China's relationship with Russia and its implications for Taiwan, and Raymond Kuo assesses Taiwan's defense capabilities and the potential consequences of a Chinese takeover. The discussion covers Taiwan's political history, its economic significance, the US's policy of strategic ambiguity, China's military modernization, and the potential global impact of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
