Russian President Vladimir Putin recently visited Mongolia, marking his first trip to an International Criminal Court (ICC) member state since the organization issued an arrest warrant for him last year. Despite this, Putin was received warmly in the country. How will developing Russia-Mongolia relations affect regional and global dynamics? In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we examine why Mongolia chose to welcome relations with Russia, how this choice may affect regional and global power dynamics, and how Mongolia’s economic needs and geopolitical concerns are linked. Furthermore, we discuss China’s Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, how military and financial involvement in Africa is broadening Chinese control, and whether African nations are benefiting from Chinese presences.
Our guests are:

- National Sun Yat-sen University Institute of China and Asia-Pacific Studies Professor and Director

- National Chung-Cheng University Political Science Professor
