I'm thrilled to be back in Taiwan, where I'll be based for the next few years as The Economist's Chief China Correspondent and co-host of the Drum Tower podcast. I'll be jointly leading our China coverage from here, focusing on foreign policy, military affairs, Taiwan and Chinese influence abroad.

What is Taiwan's Plan B? In the latest issue of the Economist, I looked into how Taiwan is hedging for the risk that America abandons it. Rubio says U.S. policy towards the island won't change for a trade deal. The question is whether Donald Trump feels the same way www.economist.com/asia/2025/10...
