India's trade through SCS has also increased over the years so cross straight stability is also important for our interests
Finally JM replaced by Snehesh. Good job!!
I am a bit surprised with the naivety of the lady who is based in Taiwan. India can't just put all the eggs in one basket, today DPP wins, albeit a very slim win, we wouldn't know if the pro-china KMT would win in the next election, afterall KMT wins more seats than DPP in the parliament in this election.
That Taiwan guy seems more realistic and understands the politics of Taiwan very well. Afterall he is a Taiwanese.
Biden wouldn't want the US to get sucked into the US-China war, at all cost, because according to rand corp the US is going to lose in a war with China. 18 out 18 simulations. I am not sure how true.
Dear ThePrint, please invest in better audio. Better production values please.
Snehesh is a good host. The audio doesn't do him justice.
Why does ThePrint use the same "troublemaker" as Chinese propaganda to refer William Lai in the title but not to refer to the Chinese government? Should ThePrint the position be questioned?
Reportedly, tsmc has hired a few engineers from iit Bombay this year.

The USA is interfering in the internal affairs of China
A good story by a Western channel

Small advise to Snehesh Philip, please stop use absolutely, exactly or any small interruptions while the panel is presenting their views. Jothi handles such panel based conversation very well. Snehesh is good. I like all his defence news but this kind of Panel Discussion he needs to improve as a mediator.
With Taiwanese voters electing Lai Ching-te as the new president, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) gets a third successive presidential term to rule the self-governed island. The DPP strongly voices Taiwan's separate identity and vows to thwart China's aim to bring the island into its own control. The party won the election defeating Taiwan's largest opposition party – The Kuomintang (KMT) and the recently founded Taiwan People's Party (TPP). The Harvard educated former physician, Premier, and present Vice- President Lai Ching-te is considered as a 'dangerous separatist' and 'troublemaker' by China for his views on Taiwan's sovereignty. However, the President-elect is confident of maintaining the status quo and "determined to safeguard Taiwan from threats and intimidation from China".
Although considered as the global semiconductor hub, only a handful of countries recognise Taiwan's independence and maintain diplomatic relations with the self-governed island. As China remains stern on reunification of Taiwan, really liked the way the idea was explained by the expert panelist through the example of stick, carrot, network and needle.
Hopefully, India will maintain a steady relation with Taiwan using technology as a bridge and expand it further in other sectors like – education, tourism, and job as well.
The CCP's constant threats of forcibly reunifying Taiwan are truly absurd. Taiwan was never theirs to begin with, so how can they lose something they never had?
It's a simple fact that Japan handed Taiwan over to the KMT government, not the Chinese Communist Party. Don't they understand such basic reasoning? The CCP has never ruled Taiwan and any attempt to attack Taiwan is aggression.
The CCP's interference in Taiwan is merely an attempt to rationalize its theft of Mainland China territory. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government no longer claims mainland China as the territory of Taiwan. Taiwan has no plans to attack the CCP. The two countrie can coexist peacefully, showing mutual respect, and formalizing diplomatic relations. Isn't that a positive development? It's unreasonable to resort to military action against Taiwan.
Let's go back throug China's dynasties, territorial boundaries varied every dynasties. Does the CCP intend to trouble itself by reclaiming each of these declared independent countries one by one? During the Yuan Dynasty, with its capital in Beijing, regions like North and South Korea, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and Siberia in Russia were within its rule. However, they are now independent countries. Xi Jinping's claim that not an inch of Chinese territory can be lost is itself a joke.
During the Yuan Dynasty, from 1231 to 1273, there were nine wars waged against Goryeo (Korea). After Kublai Khan's ascension in 1273, Yuan forces occupied Jeju Island, bringing the Goryeo-Yuan war to an end. Goryeo eventually became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, under the control of the Yuan Eastern Expeditionary Province. Jeju Island was directly governed by the Yuan government for an extended period.
Korea has been considered Chinese territory since the Yuan Dynasty, which waged nine wars against Goryeo. If the CCP has truly lost Korea, why doesn't it dare to reclaim it? Is it just acknowledging its own timidity? If they are powerful, let them demonstrate it—does the CCP have the courage to confront North Korea?
ThePrint please go away. U R a Troublemaker. So f..k off😢😮😂😢
