What is the current state of Australia-Taiwan relations? What challenges does Taiwan face in a new security era? How should regional allies and partners engage with Taiwan on its own terms — and what could this mean for China’s grand strategy? Professor Peter Dean , Senior Advisor for Defence Strategy at the United States Studies Centre, and Professor Bec Strating , Director at the La Trobe Centre for Global Security, joined the USSC Briefing Room to discuss these questions. Along with other Australian security experts, Professor Dean and Professor Strating co-authored a new report in February: Australia-Taiwan relations: Policy options and priorities for engagement .
