China’s campaign on Taiwan has already begun. Cognitive warfare has been integral to Beijing’s military strategy for decades. And now, Taiwan faces a new generation of threats as AI supercharges China’s reach through everyday social media. But Taiwan is fighting back with AI-powered tools of its own.
Our guests guide us through the evolution of China’s non-kinetic war machine, Taiwan’s counterstrategies and what democracies worldwide could learn by studying Taiwan’s digital front line.
Host: Divya Gopalan
Featuring: Samuel Straw (head of research, Taiwan Digital Diplomacy Association) and Mariah Thornton (teaching fellow, London School of Economics and Political Science).
