In today’s episode of “News Insight” aired on May 8, Wednesday, our panelists decoded the news including Prof. Ming Juzheng, honorary professor of Political Science at National Taiwan University, Deputy Dean Guo Yuren of the National Policy Research Institute, along with the host Zhang Dongxu.
Today’s focus covered various hot topics such as the rumored vacation of Putin. A unique detailed analysis revealed US intelligence suggesting joint action by China and Russia against Taiwan. Is Europe a breakthrough point for China’s economy? Macron’s challenge to Putin, Xi’s visit to France, and the grey area threats posed by the CCP prompting the US to consider amending the Taiwan Relations Act – all were discussed.
The withdrawal of US and other countries’ ambassadors from Russia triggers speculation of impending major events. The contrasting stances of the EU and China at the EU-China summit and the firm stance taken by the EU Chairman were highlighted.
US warnings about a possible joint China-Russia attack on Taiwan have raised concerns. China’s so-called “unprecedented changes in a century” pose questions about who the primary victims of CCP deception are.
The deployment of US medium-range missile systems from both north and south ends for Taiwan’s defense, confirmed after their positioning in northern Philippines, has raised discussions about the next potential deployment in Japan and the Ryukyu Islands.
The US think tank suggests that the existing security treaty with Indo-Pacific allies needs reinforcement by mirroring the robustness of the Taiwan Relations Act. How should this recommendation be interpreted in light of current events?
Ahead of his visit to Europe after a five-year hiatus, the Chinese Communist Party leader faces a volatile environment amidst the comprehensive trade war with the EU. Putin’s inauguration on May 7, post the US, Germany, and Czech ambassadors’ evacuation from Russia, adds more complexities to the geopolitical landscape.
Before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the stable triangular relationship among the US, China, and Russia saw Putin benefiting from their rivalry. His invasion of Ukraine in 2022 with CCP support is seen as a strategic misjudgment. Will Russia continue to align with China’s interests?
As tensions rise with the US intelligence director’s warning of potential China-Russia cooperation against Taiwan, regional intelligence agencies caution against Russian aggression in Europe.
Recent articles by the US think tank highlight vulnerabilities in the Indo-Pacific security alliances against Chinese threats, suggesting reinforcement inspired by the Taiwan Relations Act.

Reports hint at the US military’s development and deployment of the Typhon medium-range missile system in the Asia Pacific region post the US withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.
