In this episode of Taiwan Talks, we delve into the dynamics of cross-strait relations in 2024, just before Taiwan's critical presidential election on January 13. We explore Chinese President Xi Jinping's assertive stance on unification with Taiwan and its implications for the region, and we scrutinize Xi's directive to establish a "diplomatic iron army," a move signaling a potential shift in China's diplomatic strategy with the West.
