Black Inc. Books's video: Jonathan Pearlman s memorable quotes from AFA14

Editor Jonathan Pearlman’s memorable quotes from the fourteenth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs – The Taiwan Choice: Showdown in Asia “Australia has nothing to gain and much to lose by encouraging America to go to war over Taiwan … nothing we could do would sustain our alliance with an America which, whether it chose peace or war, had destroyed its strategic position in Asia.” Hugh White “By dismissing the eternal status quo, Xi has taken a big gamble. If war breaks out across the Taiwan Strait, the ensuing devastation will stymie economic development and crush people's hopes for a more prosperous tomorrow in the PRC.” Linda Jakobson “Australia’s leaders display a curious nonchalance, bordering at times on neglect, regarding the risks of a Taiwan conflict.” Brendan Taylor “I am often asked how we in Taiwan react to this perilous situation. The Taiwanese people are not panicking.” Yu–Jie Chen
