What this episode covers
The US military’s current approach to deterring China from invading Taiwan is no longer viable. With China’s naval dominance growing, the US must adopt an asymmetric strategy that prioritizes deterrence through persistent military presence and irregular warfare tactics. This episode examines how a small, strategically positioned US force in Taiwan could shift the balance, prevent invasion, and reinforce US commitment to Indo-Pacific security.
