279 | Sprinting Towards Conflict with a Peaking China - Michael Beckley on the Dangers of the Next Decade

Episode Summary

Michael Beckley, Tufts University professor and co-author (with Hal Brands) of Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China, joins The Realignment to discuss why he believes that China's power relative to the United States will peak in the 2020s, how that makes a catastrophic conflict more, rather than less, likely, and how the United States and its allies should navigate combustible challenges such as defending Taiwan.
