In this special episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Steve Kuper speaks to Taiwan’s most senior representative, Douglas Hsu, to discuss the bilateral relationship and opportunities, and the China question.

The pair discuss a range of topics affecting the future of both Australia and Taiwan and the future of security in the Indo-Pacific region, including:

• The economic and industrial lessons learned by Taiwan throughout its rapid industrialisation and how they can help to shape Australia’s own industrial development.
• The island democracy’s growing concerns for its security and how the bilateral relationship with Australia is helping to prepare the nation in the event of the unthinkable.
• The future opportunities, risks, and state of preparedness in the nation amid mounting provocations by the People’s Republic of China.
