This week our hosts welcome Dr Chung onto the show to discuss the history and current affairs between China and Taiwan (4:26). She provides us with some behind-the-scenes insight regarding Chinese spies, their Nationalism Day, the rise of Mao and fall of Chiang Kai-shek (7:01). This leads the conversation into communism, ethnic diversity in China, the Uyghur "re-education" camps, and the Taiwanese government (14:02). The hosts get into the Japanese influence in Taiwan and globally (21:01) and how their imperialistic traits are more similar to that of the USA than China, who attempts to spread their influence through trade or infrastructure (29:10). As of late, China has shown more military aggression toward Taiwan, which has led our hosts to have this conversation in the first place (38:34). T and Saif close with a reflection of where the USA is compared to China post-WWII, including the recent influence of Tik Tok, and clarifying for our legal team that Dr Chung is not currently a doctor (48:58).
