Ageing Populations In East Asia Shaping Taiwan Strait & Inter-Korea Tensions

In part two of this series, CNA Correspondent examines how ageing populations could affect regional flashpoints such as the Taiwan Strait and inter-Korea tensions. The programme also explores how demographic changes are coinciding with shifts in security partnerships, against the backdrop of China’s growing military assertiveness in territorial disputes.  As East Asian countries increase defence spending -acquiring new equipment and developing advanced military technologies - the programme examines how defence is no longer just about security, but a rapidly expanding industry shaping economies and power. NTU’s SSS Assoc Prof Kei Koga and RSIS’s Asst Prof Park Jaehan feature in this episode to shed light on the topic.
