Oriana Skylar Mastro: Taiwan Invasion: How Soon and How to Deter It?

Endgame with Gita Wirjawan

Just four days prior to the airing of this episode, Taiwan's former president, Ma Ying-jeou, made a historic visit to China amid rising tensions between the two countries. In his speech, he stated that "We are all Chinese," making this the first major political action of its kind since 1949. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Taiwan's current president, Tsai Ing-wen, embarked on a diplomatic journey to the US and Central America over the following two days. This highlights the dynamic nature of the issue. Speaking in her civilian capacity, Oriana Skylar Mastro, a Chinese military expert and strategic planner at the United States Air Force's INDOPACOM, helps us to get into the minds of the Chinese military in seeing what she describes as “the most important issue to the Communist Party.” She also expresses her frustration to leaders across the globe for failing to take significant measures to deter a potential Taiwan war. She boldly predicts that the flashpoint is likely to occur in 2027. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #OrianaMastro ----------------- Episode Notes: endgame.id/eps132notes ----------------- SGPP Indonesia Master of Public Policy: [e-mail] admissions.sgpp.ac.id
