In this episode of Taiwan Talks, we explore U.S. support for constructing a new seaport in the Philippines' northernmost Batanes Island, close to Taiwan. This initiative follows enhanced military cooperation and the establishment of new bases in the Philippines. We'll discuss the motivations behind the U.S. support and the potential regional implications.
