About the show

Taiwan Frontlines is a limited series podcast produced by GMF and hosted by Bonnie Glaser, GMF Indo-Pacific managing director, and Jason Hsu, former Taiwanese legislator and tech policy advocate. Taiwan’s role in the global economy is increasing, but the island faces a growing security threat from China. Given Taiwan’s geopolitical importance, deeper and more varied perspectives on its story, including those by voices from Taiwan, are long overdue. Taiwan Frontlines provides these perspectives. Each podcast episode features influential policymakers and thought leaders who join Bonnie and Jason to discuss relevant issues of technology, security, diplomacy, economic resilience, and Taiwan’s place in a shifting international order. Created in partnership with NOWNEWS, through its English-language platform Taiwan Current News (https://www.tcn.tw/)
