    What if China and Taiwan went to war?

    On January 9th, the outgoing US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced he was lifting restrictions on contacts between US officials and their Taiwanese counterparts. Chinese state media denounced this as a ‘cowardly act of sabotage’. As we enter a new year with a new US president, a still fresh Taiwanese government, and in a climate of US-Chinese confrontation, the potential flashpoint of Taiwan continues to glow. But what would a conflict around the island look like, who would be affected, and how might it end?  In this episode Mark Fleming-Williams, Phillip Orchard, Omar Lamrani, Sim Tack and Adriano Bosoni explore the outbreak of war, how a conflict might develop, and the likely global repercussions.
