In this urgent and eye-opening conversation, Taiwanese politician and scholar Joanna Lei joins us to discuss Taiwan’s fragile position in the unfolding New Cold War between the U.S. and China.Lei argues that Washington’s strategy may be pushing Taiwan toward becoming "the next Ukraine" — a pawn in a great power confrontation. But she also challenges the dominant narrative within Taiwan itself.We discuss:Why a hardline separatist stance toward China is neither popular among most Taiwanese nor strategically soundWhy political, cultural, and economic cooperation with China is in Taiwan’s best long-term interestWhether you’re focused on East Asia, U.S. foreign policy, or the future of global peace, this is a conversation not to miss.🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar 🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴🎙️ Guest: Joanna Lei📍 Platform: India & Global Left

In this explosive episode, I debate antiwar libertarian Scott Horton on the core foundations of capitalism and power.We begin with a heated exchange:Is the free market a capitalist feature — or can it exist in socialist economies?Are inflation, instability, and inequality caused by state intervention or the private sector?Is money expansion an unavoidable feature of capitalism — or a distortion created by central banks?From there, we shift to a deep, principled discussion on U.S. foreign policy:Is a ceasefire in Gaza still possible?How should Iran respond to U.S.–Israel escalation?And is NATO slowly pushing Ukraine toward collapse in the name of containment?Whether you’re a socialist, libertarian, realist, or just politically curious — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar 🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴📚 Scott Horton is the author of Enough Already and Provoked, and host of The Scott Horton Show.🧠 Watch, comment, and join the debate.
