What can the US, Canada, and the rest of the world learn from Taiwan in dealing with communist China, especially during the COVID 19 pandemic?
What accounts for Taiwan’s success in containing the CCP virus, despite Taiwan’s exclusion from the WHO and proximity to mainland China?
And, how has the Chinese regime subverted the WHO, the UN, and other international organizations? What can democratic countries do to counter this threat?
In this episode, we sit down with J. Michael Cole, a senior fellow with the Global Taiwan Institute in Washington, D.C., the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Canada, and the Taiwan Studies Programme at the University of Nottingham in the UK. He is also a former analyst at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in Ottawa.
