Is China threatening to take action in Taiwan? On today’s episode of Battle Lines we’ll be looking at China’s aggressive war games around Taiwan and what it tells us about their plans to ‘reunify’ the island with the mainland. Plus, a behind the scenes look at a British royal’s trip to the Sudanese-Chad border.
Across the world, from Europe to Asia, from the Americas to the Middle East, tensions are rising between nation states as the traditional alliances and alignments evolve in the 21st century.
This year sees war in Europe and the Middle East, and elections in major economies, from the US and the UK to Taiwan. Insurgencies flare in Yemen and Myanmar, tensions escalate in East Africa, and all around the world the international security architecture buckles under increasing pressure.
Battle Lines, a new podcast from The Telegraph, combines on-the-ground reporting with analytical expertise to help the listener to better understand the course of world politics, wars and tensions, as fault lines grind and slip in an increasingly dangerous and confusing multipolar world.
