We explore why recent maritime boundary negotiations between Japan and the Philippines triggered such a strong response from Beijing, what China's expanding claims over Taiwan's surrounding waters mean under international law and UNCLOS, and why experts believe these developments could have profound implications for regional security and freedom of navigation throughout the Indo-Pacific. The episode also examines China's rapidly expanding military capabilities, growing security cooperation between countries including Australia, Japan and the Philippines, and how organisations such as AUKUS and the Quad are responding to an increasingly assertive Beijing.

We separate the headlines from the geopolitics to examine what these developments could mean for Taiwan, the wider Indo-Pacific and the future of international maritime law.
