‘Hellscape’: How the US Wants Taiwan To Arm Itself Against China
US Indo-Pacific Commander Samuel John Paparo Jr. has called on Taiwan to deter and defend against aggression from China using a “hellscape” strategy. That is, filling the airspace and waters around Taiwan with drones. Can this keep the islands safe while also driving defense innovation? Taiwan-based defense expert Bryce Barros unpacks whether the “hellscape” strategy is workable, why Taiwan could be a defense tech hub and why Taiwan should learn from military middle powers like Canada and Sweden. Featuring: Bryce Barros, visiting fellow at Taiwan’s Institute for National Defense and Security Research and associate fellow at GLOBSEC. Host: Tomasz Koper
