Taiwan: China Sees a Stolen Province, the U.S. Sees a Giant Military Base

In the U.S. we know little of Taiwan, except as a staging ground for a possible military confrontation with China. But what is Taiwan’s historic relation to China? This week, Charles Xu of Qiao Collective joins Amanda and KJ to discuss the history of Taiwan, the One China policy, and how the U.S. uses it as a pressure point in the New Cold War.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
