About This Podcast

Where does Taiwan stand in this world? Isolated and interconnected, Taiwan has a rich and fascinating network of international relations. Economy, geopolitics, culture, Taiwan has its own place in the concert of nations. "Taiwan versus the world" moves away from superpower rivalry to put Taiwan at the centre of attention. Every Saturday, you will hear the story of how Taiwan plays its own game in a big and diverse world.
