Our podcast titled “Chinese Intervention in the South China Sea” explores the different interactions between the countries within the South China Sea and the expanding influence of China. We hope to engage with crucial themes that surround the region with topics ranging from the politics, to the economy, and to the cultural implications that affect these countries. From taking case studies on countries such as Taiwan and Vietnam, we hope to paint a broader picture and further understand how this increasingly growing world power in China has cemented itself as a hegemonic leader.
