Four Corners: June 5

Monday’s Four Corners report is “Frontline Taiwan” by the BBC’s Jane Corbin.

The small island state of Taiwan is in dire straits – stuck in the middle of a struggle between two nuclear superpowers – China and the United States. There are real fears it will become the centre of our next major global conflict.

While China insists Taiwan must re-unify with the motherland, Taiwan’s president says the island must maintain its freedom and democracy.

This episode of Four Corners takes you inside that fight and tells a story that could have ramifications for all of us.

The BBC’s Jane Corbin talks to young people training in urban warfare and bracing themselves for continued cyber-attacks, disinformation and the possibility of all-out battle.

She interviews a pro-Beijing campaigner and a former gang leader to answer the question, what next for Taiwan?

Monday 5th June at 8.30pm on ABC.
