Jeffrey Sachs and Joanna Lei on Taiwan and US-China conflict

The national flag of the People's Republic of China. Taiwan flag.

Now the neocons are ready to make Taiwan the Ukraine of Asia.

The provocations from Washington just never stop. Be it Nancy Pelosi visiting Taipei or US military personnel stationed on some of Taiwan’s closest islands to mainland China, the US is upping its game to make sure China is provoked into a corner from which only war can result.

Donald Trump just staffed his cabinet with people who want to bring peace to Europe to focus all their warfare on Asia. The signs for Taiwan (and the Philippines) are bad.

Dr Joanna Lei, a scholar, businesswoman, US media executive, and former Senator in the ROC parliament, and the US-American scholar, Dr Jeffrey Sachs, an economics Professor at Columbia University., discuss the current situation.
