#225: Taiwan's Thriving Democracy
Manage episode 429613300 series 2201517
Taiwan recently saw a peaceful transition of power with the inauguration of President Lai Ching-Te, who was elected to office in January.
President Lai’s election continues the pro-democracy stance of Taiwan, and in his inaugural speech he called on neighbouring China to cease its acts of intimidation and to “choose dialogue over confrontation.”
China responded by holding a simulated blockade of Taiwan, complete with imagery boasting its ability to reign missiles down on the island.
Guest: Kevin Magee (Former Australian Representative to Taiwan)
Recorded on 19th June, 2024.
