Heine Discusses U.S.-China Tensions Over Taiwan
In an interview with France24, Jorge Heine, Research Professor at Boston University’s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, discusses United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
Heine explains that, although China’s military exercises around Taiwan following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island nation have been the largest and most wide-ranging ever, they do not portend an attack on the island in the short or medium term. That being said, he did note that the visit and the ensuing fallout will assuredly raise the uncertainty within the Asia Pacific region.
