The Danger Zone: What Main Street Needs to Know About the Coming Conflict with China

[November 29th is Giving Tuesday, a day for lending your support to worthy non-profits. This week's podcast opens with a brief interview with Lisa Weyer, executive director of the All Kids Bike campaign and its parent, the Strider Education Foundation. All Kids Bike is on a mission to teach every child in America how to ride a bike in kindergarten PE class.] Michael Beckley, an author and professor of political science, has briefed high-level policymakers, military leaders, and members of the U.S. intelligence services on his judgment that China is a nation on the descent, and that is likely to lead America into a direct conflict with the People's Republic much sooner than anyone expects. Beckley is the co-author — along with Hal Brands — of Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China. This week, Beckley explains the thinking behind his assessment and why business owners and entrepreneurs, not just policy wonks and the political class, would be wise to recognize the threat China poses and take steps now to prepare for the coming clash. Beckley is interviewed by Dean Rotbart, host and award-winning journalist. Photo: Michael Beckley, Danger Zone Posted: November 28, 2022Monday Morning Run Time: 52:40
