Quad 2.0: Australia, Japan, India and South Korea Team Up To Counter China? | Taiwan Talks EP916
A proposal from Australia’s Ambassador in Tokyo for a new Indo-Pacific security grouping bringing together Australia, Japan, India and South Korea is fueling debate over whether the region's middle powers are preparing to shoulder more of the burden of regional security. The idea comes as Tokyo deepens defense ties with Canberra and New Delhi, while China dismisses the proposal as "pure fantasy" and warns against what it sees as efforts to contain its rise. As questions grow over the future role of the United States under President Donald Trump, can a network of like-minded middle powers strengthen regional deterrence without becoming a formal anti-China bloc? In this episode, we examine the strategic logic behind the proposed grouping, the challenges it faces, and what a more interconnected network of Indo-Pacific partners could mean for Taiwan, regional security and the future balance of power. *Recorded on August 27, 2026 at 3pm Taiwan Standard Time Host: Wen-Ti Sung Producer: Suvam Pal Videographer: Damon Lin Our guests: Tsai Jung-hsiang - National Chung Cheng University Political Science Professor Mark S.

Diplomacy Beyond Disaster: Can Nepal's Development-First Foreign Policy Balance China and India?
Nepal is recovering from the devastating flash floods along its border with China, underscoring the shared challenges facing the Himalayan region. At the same time, Kathmandu's new government under Prime Minister Balendra Shah is pursuing a "Nepal First" and development-focused foreign policy, seeking closer ties with both India and China while avoiding being drawn into their strategic rivalry. As India offers disaster assistance and Nepal continues to expand cooperation with Beijing, the tragedy has also highlighted the importance of cross-border coordination, climate resilience and regional diplomacy. Can Nepal strengthen relations with both of its powerful neighbors without compromising its strategic autonomy? In this episode, we examine how the floods are influencing regional diplomacy, Nepal's evolving ties with India and China, and what Kathmandu's balancing strategy could mean for the Himalayas and the wider Indo-Pacific. *Recorded on August 27, 2026 at 2pm Taiwan Standard Time Host: Wen-Ti Sung Producer: Suvam Pal Videographer: Celest Kao Our guests: Sumit Kumar - Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Visiting Fellow at National Chengchi University Pramod Jaiswal - Nepal Institute for International Cooperation and Engagement Research Director Atul K.
