War with China: Inside Taiwan's biggest ever drills

Amid growing speculation around China’s invasion of Taiwan, the
island nation has held its largest ever military exercises. 


Fresh from reporting on live fire drills off the Taiwanese coast,
The Telegraph’s Asia correspondent Allegra Mendelson shares the
latest on Indo-Pacific tensions with Roland Oliphant.


Also, Roland speaks to Neal Urwitz, close friend of the US Under
Secretary of Defense for Policy - Elbridge A. Colby - to discuss
the latter’s push to dramatically refocus America’s military
might purely on Taiwan.
