Jean-Pierre Cabestan, research director emeritus at the CNRS and professor emeritus at Hong Kong Baptist University, presents his analysis of Taiwan and its relations with China. He examines Taiwan’s political divisions, the population’s attachment to the status quo and its democratic institutions, and the island’s economic strengths beyond semiconductors. Cabestan also discusses Taiwan’s cultural soft power—notably literature and cinema—and evaluates strategic dynamics between Beijing and Washington that will shape Taiwan’s future.
