In this episode of Taiwan Talks, we delve into the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) signed by U.S. President Joe Biden. This act, effective immediately, enhances U.S.-Taiwan military cooperation, introduces comprehensive training for Taiwanese forces and accelerates arms sales to Taiwan. We look into how the implementation of the NDAA prior to the Taiwan elections impacts regional dynamics and U.S.-China relations.
