As China’s global ambitions – militarily, technologically, and economically – remain unanswered by the U.S., the world’s only superpower with the capability and wherewithal to meet global challenges, threats to our standing and the security of our allies around the world are growing at a frightening pace. As the U.S. withdraws on the world stage and realigns its interests both domestically and internationally, China’s rise may reach the point of no return. David P. Goldman joins us to discuss these critically important issues and what, if anything, we can do to stop China’s march to develop a new pax Sinica in the Middle East, replacing the pax Americana that the Obama administration ended, and a regional hegemony in Asia that will project power – and fear – far and wide
