Dan Wang: Is China Already Winning the 21st Century? | Andrew Roberts | Hoover Institution

The conversation centers on the shifting global balance of power, particularly between the U.S. and China, and the potential for self-inflicted harm by major geopolitical players. Dan Wang, author and Hoover Institution fellow, argues that both the U.S. and China are losing ground due to internal policy choices, such as tariffs and crackdowns on tech companies, respectively. He suggests China's manufacturing prowess, especially in electric vehicles and renewable energy, positions it to overtake the West, while the U.S. struggles with reindustrialization and infrastructure development. The discussion touches on the litigiousness and regulatory hurdles in the Anglosphere, hindering progress, and the potential for political instability in Europe due to economic challenges and rising populist movements.
