The session will feed into the inquiry into the tilt to the Indo-Pacific. The Committee will likely explore the UK’s engagement with Taiwan, its trade and technology relations, and the role the UK might play in responding to growing aggression by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The session will likely discuss the current defence agreements in the region, including AUKUS, asking what the UK’s contribution to these may be, and how the UK should respond in the event that China invades Taiwan
