The International Risk Podcast – Reducing risk by increasing knowledge

Tensions between China and Taiwan, alongside the consequent risks, are nothing new.  However, as war begins unfolding in Eastern Europe and Washington inevitably diverts its attentions from Southeast Asia, now more than ever it is crucial to understand how relations between Taiwan and China could affect global supply chains, proliferate risk in the region, and affect the cost-benefit calculations of companies operating in the area

To help us detangle the situation, we are joined by Ryan Hass. Ryan  is currently  a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, in addition to a nonresident affiliated fellow at Yale Law School. Ryan has an impressive career in foreign policy, having previously served as Director for China, Taiwan, and Mongolia at the National Security Council, where he advised President Obama and senior White House officials on aspects of US foreign policy in the Taiwan Strait. With rising tensions between China and Taiwan, today’s conversation with Ryan is particularly timely.
