As a Taiwanese I appreciate your efforts for holding such a live talk. But unfortunately I can't join this conversation myslef since it is scheduled at 4am in my timezone :(
For the millionth time, this isn’t a 4th Taiwan Strait Crisis. Please stop referring to it as such.
Neither side is prepared for conflict. Neither side wants conflict. Tensions are higher than usual, yes, but that doesn’t translate to “this is the 4th Taiwan Strait Crisis.” It has the potential to turn into a crisis, but right now it is more equivalent to China blowing off steam in an attempt to intimidate Taiwan, which hasn’t worked so far. There is no real chance of war, much less an invasion right now.
