What Would Happen if China Invades Taiwan?
Listen to this episode from Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters on Spotify. The year is 2026, and China has just launched an invasion of Taiwan. What happens next was the subject of a comprehensive non-classified War Game simulation lead by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Our guest, Mark Cancian, is a retired Marine Colonel and senior advisor at CSIS and one of the lead conveners of this War Game. We kick off discussing how the War Game was designed before having a longer conversation about the outcomes it predicted. This includes death tolls, the role of Japan and whether or not the US and Chinese homeland are attacked. I'll cut to the chase: after 24 iterations, the most probable outcome was the defeat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, but at a staggeringly high cost to Taiwan and the United States.

Okay. That was the final straw. Can someone point me in the direction of a revolution for me to join?

The first headline is my favourite. What the hell is a "beer expert" in this context?
