International Relations and Defence Committee
Wednesday 18 May 2022 

Defence concepts and capabilities: from aspiration to reality. Lord Alton’s questions to witness Meia Nouwens, Senior Fellow for Chinese Defence Policy and Military Modernisation, International Institute for Strategic Studies, about whether China sees Putin’s War as an opportunity to invade Taiwan and whether – in the context of Hong Kong – it sees democracy, human rights, and the rule of law as an existential threat.
