Thucydides's Trap

The dynamic between the United States and China is one of the world's most important relationships, and around the globe, conflicts between the two superpowers are stoking the flames of a growing—and increasingly dangerous—rivalry. Professor Lyle J. Goldstein is the founding director of the China Maritime Studies Institute at the Naval War College and a leading voice on U.S.-China relations. He joins DISCOVERY to talk about the potential flashpoints and the urgency for leaders on both sides of the Pacific to approach key issues in new ways.
