China Center Program Manager Shane Leary joins Miles Yu to discuss the Wagner revolt against Vladimir Putin’s regime and its implications for the People’s Republic of China. They then talk about how Joe Biden called Xi Jinping a “dictator” before turning to a discussion on Chinese e-commerce and how companies like Shein and Temu subvert American tariffs and undermine the free market.
On multiple fronts—from ideology to the economy, to the military, to technology—the Chinese Communist Party presents the United States and its allies and partners with their most serious threat since the Cold War—maybe since World War II. What does the emerging consensus about the China challenge get right, and what is it missing? And what will it take to compete to win?
