/456/ All Chips on Taiwan ft. James Lin

On Taiwan, semiconductors, and war.

[Full episode for subscribers only]

James Lin, Assistant Professor of International Studies at the University of Washington at Seattle, talks to Phil about Taiwanese politics and the country's place in the world, in terms of the global economy and Sino-American geopolitical rivalry. We talk about Taiwanese history and politics, from Japanese occupation and colonisation across the Cold War, to the present day, including:

  • Taiwanese politics in the shadow of the geopolitical crisis

  • The paradox of political divergence and economic convergence between China and Taiwan since the 1980s

  • How did Taiwan corner the market for manufacturing computer chips?

  • How successful is the ongoing US reshoring of chip production?

  • Will there be a Marco Rubio/Elon Musk divide on China in the Trump White House?

  • How might a war over Taiwan play out?
