Taiwan voted for WAR with China | Grant Newsham
China framed Taiwan’s 2024 presidential election as a decision between war and peace. And according to China, Taiwan voted for war. That’s because DPP candidate William Lai, who won in a landslide, has been very open about his opposition to moving closer to China. Joining us in this episode of China Unscripted is Colonel Grant Newsham, a former Marine intelligence officer who has lived in Taiwan as part of a Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs fellowship. He’s also the author of the book When China Attacks: A Warning to America.
