Former senior CIA analysts discuss China's reaction to Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan trip — "Intelligence Matters"

This week on "Intelligence Matters," host Michael Morell talks with former senior CIA analysts Chris Johnson, president and CEO of China Strategies Group, and John Culver, former national intelligence officer for East Asia, about China-Taiwan relations in the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei. 

Culver describes China's military response as both "unprecedented" and showing restraint, never escalating to a point where Taiwan had to make a use of force decision. He also discussed what a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would entail— a national mobilization that requiring not only the People's Liberation Army but also the whole Chinese economy and society. 

Johnson focuses on the concerns China has over legislation being considered in Congress that the PRC believes would erode the one-China policy.
