In this episode, recorded on Wednesday, November 29th, G3 speaks with Weiss’s China expert, Mike Edwards, about the upcoming presidential election in Taiwan.

China, the US and much of the world will be watching this election closely because Taiwan’s status has been a major source of tension between the world’s two superpowers. Mike provides an overview on where Sino-US relations currently stand and discusses if and how the election could impact the trajectory of those relations.

Mike and G3 also discuss the geopolitical significance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which is headquartered about 45 miles to the southwest of Taipei.
