'World on the Brink' argues U.S. failing to deter China

Season 2024 Episode 139 | 7m 02s

This week, China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin inaugurated a “new era” of partnership, just before Taiwan inaugurates a new president on Monday. The new book, "World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the 21st Century," argues Taiwan is at the center of China’s challenge to U.S. power and influence in Asia. Nick Schifrin discussed more with Dmitri Alperovitch.
