The up-and-down, cooperation-competition nature of U.S.-China relations has been a major focus in the United States during this campaign season, but its impact on regional actors is less discussed. Hung-jen Wang spoke on the juxtaposition of engagement and (mis)trust in the U.S.-China relationship. Wang also shared his insights into how Taiwan may seek to take advantage of fraying Sino-American ties.
WHAT: A discussion on the U.S.-China relationship and its possible benefits for Taiwan.
