Podcast Archive: Strait Talking

How will the Asia-Pacific region’s supply chains adjust to the new world of strategic competition and friend-shoring? How is climate change impacting the lives of people in the region? How can Taiwan manage its relations with neighboring countries?

Strait Talking, from the Taiwan Center for Security Studies, has all of these discussions and more. This monthly news commentary podcast comes straight from the center of action here in Taipei and builds on decades of security studies expertise.

The first half of the podcast takes some of the best bits from the Center’s monthly newsletter, before diving deeper into the stories catching our interest.
