What happens when the world’s two superpowers go head-to-head in an era of economic upheaval, tech acceleration and military recalibration?
This week, I sat down with the eminent historian and Hoover Institution fellow
to wrestle with what might be the $120 trillion question: what kind of world order is emerging as the US pivots to confront China?We explored:
The emerging “Trump Doctrine” and its Nixonian echoes
How the US is recalibrating its global commitments to focus on China
Why Europe is finally waking up to its defense responsibilities
China’s growing technological confidence—and economic constraints
Taiwan, semiconductors, and the flashpoints that could reshape global power
What a new world order might look like: multipolar, unstable, or something else entirely
From the rise of BYD and DeepSeek to the limits of US naval power, this is a wide-ranging discussion that connects history, strategy, and the cutting edge of technology. Enjoy!
