Is China Making a Play for Hegemony, or is it Just the World's Biggest, Grouchiest Neighbor?
Manage episode 276983982 series 2820680
You’re China. (Hi, China!)
In the last 8 months, you were the source of this century’s worst pandemic, bungled the early management of the outbreak at home, and mislead the international community about it for months.
But now that things are under control health-wise in the Middle Kingdom and the United States is distracted by major internal issues it's apparently time to settle some scores, starting with Hong Kong… and Taiwan… and India… and WHO ELSE WANTS SOME OF CHINA!?
This week Steve, Soumi, and Galen talk about China’s rise, whether or not it can be peaceful, and on what terms it can be successful given what's currently happening in the United States. And MUCH MUCH MORE!
