China-Taiwan tensions: President Tsai lashes back at China

BBC World Service - Weekend, China-Taiwan tensions: President Tsai lashes back at ChinaSearch BBC

Leader of Taiwan vows they will not bow to Beijing pressure

Leader of Taiwan vows they will not bow to Beijing pressure.

In a speech commemorating Taiwan's National Day, President Tsai warned that her country will continue its democratic way of life, after China's President Xi Jinping vowed yesterday to "fulfil reunification". We speak to a political scientist in Taipei about what these battling speeches really mean.

Also in the programme: Beethoven's unfinished 10th symphony is resurrected using artificial intelligence. We hear from one of the musicians about what it was like playing an AI score.

Our panellists this week are Jana Puglierin, German political analyst and head of European Council on Foreign Affairs in Berlin and Bulama Bukarti, Nigerian analyst at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change here in London.
