  • Taiwan has a new president. At his inauguration, Lai Ching Te called for peace with China - and for Beijing to dial back its confrontational stance against the democratic island, which it regards as a renegade province. China is dependent on Taiwan for the latest in computer chips, and it also buys the majority of its exports. Europe is a key business partner of both sides - and has urged dialogue, rather than confrontation. Daniel Winter asks Zsuzsa Ferenczy, assistant professor at Taiwan’s National Dong Hwa University, if the new leadership in Taipei could mean more trade and less tension.

    He can’t. China has one goal, to take over Taiwan. Trade can’t change that.
