| Today I spoke with Emily de La Bruyère, a senior fellow at Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and the founder of Horizon Advisory. We discussed China’s economic role in the global economic ecosystem as well as US/China great power competition. In this edition you’ll hear Emily and me discuss: • How relationships between the US and China are deteriorating and why that trend will likely continue… • Why US regulatory controls will likely prove ineffective in protecting domestic industry from Chinese encroachment… • How Taiwan’s economic dependence on China poses the greatest threat to its stability and future… • What the US and Europe ultimately must do in order to successfully decouple from China… • Why US and European private industry will eventually lose access to Chinese markets… To learn more about Emily de La Bruyère click here: www.fdd.org/team/emily-de-la-bruyère/ Did you like this interview?
