From the Heritage Foundation, I'm Tim Desher, and this is Heritage Explains live.

We've seen all the headlines about Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.

So what does it mean? How is China going to respond? And what will that response

look like? On this episode of Heritage Explains Live, our pal Dean Chang, senior research fellow

here at the Heritage Foundation in the Asian Study Center, knows this issue inside and out, and we have a long-form

discussion to go through everything and all the questions you might have. So please,

enjoy this interview. Okay, we are live. We are live, Dean, we are live. It's the best time

heritage explains live. We've been seeing it all over TV. All the pundits are talking about it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has landed in Taiwan. And that's in spite of threats from the Chinese Communist Party. They've said serious consequences and resolute measures.

It appears she has landed in spite of that serious threat, Dean. Now, I know a lot of people,

including me, have questions regarding this. What is all the hullabaloo? What is all of this

about? What are all the reports about?

Why is this such a big deal? So we wanted to turn the cameras on. As we do here, we go live.

We take questions from the audience. We take questions from you. We are live. So if you do type

in questions, folks, we're going to see them. and chances are we're going to get to them.

So please, if as we talk here, you say, oh, I don't understand that.

I don't know what Dean's talking about here.

We'll get to it.

Please get to it, and we will track those.

So I'm your host, Tim Desher.

I host a podcast here called Heritage Explains, and we like to turn the cameras on, like we

said, and do this.

And our guest taking these questions on Taiwan is Dean Chang.
