Xi Is in Egypt. So Are China's J-16 Fighter Jets — Siphoning US-Allied Secrets | Taiwan Talks EP920

China has deployed advanced J-16 fighter jets, airborne early warning aircraft and electronic warfare assets to Egypt for the “Eagles of Civilization” joint exercises that pit the PLA against Western-designed Rafale fighters. The China-Egypt drills come as Beijing seeks to compensate for its lack of modern combat experience while exposing its forces to the capabilities of aircraft operated by other Indo-Pacific powers, including India. At the same time, China has revised its National Defense Mobilization Law to strengthen the transition from peacetime to wartime, prompting renewed scrutiny of its military preparations and Taiwan's own efforts to bolster resilience. Is the PLA using overseas exercises and legal reforms to prepare for a future conflict — and what does that mean for Taiwan and the wider Indo-Pacific? In this episode, we examine China's evolving military strategy, the significance of the Egypt deployment, and what these developments reveal about the changing balance of power across the region. *Recorded on September 3, 2026 at 4pm Taiwan Standard Time Host/Senior Producer: Yin Khvat Planner: Miguel Yang Consultant: Max Yu Videographer: Damon Lin Our guests: Tony Hu - Former US Department of Defense Senior Director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia James Fanell - Retired US Navy Captain Chapters: 00:00:00 – China Holds Exercise with Egypt 00:01:54 – Beijing Tests Jets Against Rafales 00:11:05 – Xi Purges Experienced Military Officials 00:21:14 – Taiwan Prepares for Possible Invasion #China #Taiwan #ChineseMilitary #Egypt #Rafale #J10C #EgyptChinaDrills #AirCombatExercise #RafaleJets #PLAAF #AirForceDrills #MilitaryExercises #JointDrills #JointExercises #ChinaEgypt #EgyptMilitary #SinoEgyptianRelations #MilitaryCooperation #DefenseCooperation #AirPower #MilitaryStrategy #CombatReadiness #ChinaMilitary #PLA #MilitaryPurge #XiJinpingPurge #PLAPurge #MilitaryLeadership #CentralMilitaryCommission #MilitaryCorruption #TaiwanInvasion #TaiwanDefense #TaiwanSecurity #ChinaTaiwan #CrossStraitTensions #CrossStraitSecurity #TaiwanStrait #ChinaThreat #TaiwanDefenseStrategy #AsymmetricWarfare #TaiwanMilitary #TaiwanArmedForces #TaiwanContingency #ChinaThreatToTaiwan #IndoPacific #IndoPacificSecurity #GreatPowerCompetition #USChinaRivalry #Geopolitics #MilitaryStrategy #DefenseStrategy #MilitaryReadiness #AirCombat #AirCombatTraining #MilitaryAviation #AirForce #ChinaEgyptRelations #MiddleEastSecurity #RegionalSecurity #DefenseCooperation #TaiwanPlus #TaiwanTalks

Nepal Floods: Tibet Was Hit First. So Why Didn’t China Warn Nepal? | Taiwan Talks

As rescue efforts continue in Nepal following the catastrophic flash floods, questions are growing over what caused the disaster, whether downstream communities received adequate warning, and how much critical glacier and flood-risk data China shared with Nepal in the months leading up to the tragedy. Beijing insists its information disclosure was timely and transparent, while some Nepali officials and experts argue that earlier warnings could have saved lives. What do we know so far about the causes of the flood and what remains speculation? In this interview with an independent climate security researcher, we discuss the science behind the disaster, the debate over China's role in flood warnings and data sharing, and what the tragedy reveals about transboundary water security, trust and cooperation across the Himalayas. *Recorded on September 3, 2026 at 4:50pm Taiwan Standard Time Host/Senior Producer: Yin Khvat Producer: Suvam Pal Videographer: Jun Ng Our guest: Neeraj Singh Manhas - Independent Researcher on Climate Security and Transboundary Rivers in South Asia Chapters: 00:00:00 – Floods Wipe Out Villages, Infrastructure 00:03:36 – Did China’s Actions Contribute? 00:07:02 – Beijing Censors Its Data #NepalFloods #Nepal #China #HimalayanFloods #HimalayanDisaster #FlashFloods #NepalDisaster #FloodDisaster #DeathToll #HumanitarianCrisis #DisasterResponse #InfrastructureDamage #Rasuwa #Nuwakot #LangtangLirung #TrishuliRiver #Gyirong #Tibet #ChinaTibet #ChinaNepal #Himalayas #GlacierCollapse #GlacialOutburst #GlacialLakeOutburst #WaterSecurity #UpstreamDams #ChinaHydropower #HydropowerGeopolitics #CrossBorderRivers #TransHimalayan #CrossBorderImpact #WaterGeopolitics #ChinaWaterPolicy #HimalayanWater #RiverPolitics #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #HimalayanEcology #EnvironmentalSecurity #DisasterDiplomacy #RegionalSecurity #SouthAsia #SouthAsiaGeopolitics #ChinaInfluence #ChineseDams #TaiwanPlus #TaiwanTalks

Pacific Islands Unite Against China: Is Beijing's Aggression Bringing the Region Together? | EP918

Pacific Island leaders are gathering in Palau as strategic competition intensifies across the region, with climate resilience, energy security and China's growing military presence all competing for attention. While this year's Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) has welcomed back major dialogue partners including the US, China, Japan and Taiwan, Beijing's recent submarine-launched ballistic missile test into the South Pacific and its expanding regional influence have heightened concerns over the future of Pacific security. At the same time, Pacific nations are seeking to preserve their unity and strategic autonomy, insisting they do not want their region to become an arena for great-power rivalry. Can the Pacific Islands maintain a common agenda while balancing competing external powers? In this episode, we examine this year’s PIF, China's expanding footprint, and how the US, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan are responding in one of the Indo-Pacific's most strategically important regions. *Recorded on September 3, 2026 at 2pm Taiwan Standard Time Host: Wen-Ti Sung Producer: Chinyeh Chiang Videographer: Celest Kao Our guests: Chen Ping-kuei - National Chengchi University (NCCU) Department of Diplomacy Professor Chiew-Ping Hoo - East Asian International Relations (EAIR) Caucus Co-Founder Chapters: 00:00:00 – Pacific Islands Push ‘Unity’ at PIF 00:01:38 – Nations Focus on Climate, Security 00:13:18 – Pacific Protests Chinese Missile Test 00:18:08 – Australia, NZ Expand Outreach #PacificIslandsForum #PacificIslands #China #PIF2026 #PacificUnity #BluePacific #PacificSecurity #PacificNations #PacificDiplomacy #PacificSovereignty #ChinaMissileTest #PacificProtest #BallisticMissile #ICBMTest #NuclearFreePacific #PacificIslandStates #SmallIslandStates #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #ClimateSecurity #Australia #NewZealand #AnthonyAlbanese #AustraliaPacific #NewZealandPacific #PacificOutreach #PacificPartnership #RegionalSecurity #SecurityCooperation #MaritimeSecurity #SouthPacific #PacificGeopolitics #ChinaPacific #ChinaInfluence #GreatPowerCompetition #USChinaRivalry #StrategicCompetition #IndoPacific #IndoPacificSecurity #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #PacificLeadership #PacificCooperation #OceanGovernance #IslandNations #ClimateDiplomacy #EnvironmentalSecurity #DisasterResilience #NuclearSecurity #MissileThreat #MilitarySecurity #PacificDefense #StrategicSecurity #Micronesia #Polynesia #Melanesia #Palau #Koror #SurangelWhipps #Tuvalu #Nauru #Kiribati #SolomonIslands #TaiwanPlus #TaiwanTalks

'Sindoor Declassified' | BrahMos Spreads Across South China Sea: A Conversation With General Shankar

In this Taiwan Talks exclusive, we are joined by retired Indian General P. R. Shankar, who oversaw the induction, testing and modernization of the BrahMos missile by the Indian military. The supersonic weapon is gaining renewed global attention after a new documentary revealed the extent of its role in Operation Sindoor, the 2025 conflict between India and Pakistan. The missile has since become one of India's fastest-growing defense exports, with the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia all signing deals with New Delhi. As Beijing rapidly expands its military infrastructure in the South China Sea, some analysts are beginning to ask whether a new "BrahMos Belt" is emerging in region. Is India's flagship missile becoming an instrument of regional deterrence and strategic diplomacy? In this episode, we examine the lessons of Operation Sindoor, the growing export success of BrahMos and what India's expanding defense partnerships could mean for the Taiwan Strait and the future balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. *Recorded on September 1, 2026 at 11am Taiwan Standard Time Host/Senior Producer: Yin Khvat Producer: Suvam Pal Videographer: Celest Kao Our guests: P.
