Kishore Mahbubani and John Mearsheimer clash over Taiwan, the China threat and whether Australia should back US deterrence, and Kishore calls that path "geopolitical suicide." Tom Switzer asks whether we are downplaying the China threat. Kishore says most of Asia's 50+ states are on a positive track with China and won't choose sides. Mearsheimer argues China wants to dominate East Asia and that the US, Japan and Australia should say clearly they will defend Taiwan. Who is right?
