Episode description
If China invaded Taiwan - what would Donald Trump do? Would he come to Taiwan’s support as peacekeeper-in-chief, or let China exact their desire for a reunification?
Sky's Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith has been in Taiwan. Mark Stone talks to her about how the Taiwanese are feeling as the threat from the mainland rachets up and the island's military mimics responding to an attack from Beijing.
We also discuss whether Chinese President Xi Jinping really wants to take the islands in 2027.
