China Rising: The Economics of War and the Need for Containment
Ptolemy Pruden is the author of the book "China Rising: The Case for Containment" and the host of "The Common Sense Defense" podcast. He is an expert in national security issues and focuses on educating everyday Americans about the importance of China's global expansion and its impact on families and children. Pruden has a deep understanding of China's history, policies, and economic strategies, and he aims to raise awareness about the need for strong defense policies to prevent conflicts and maintain peace.
In this episode you will learn:
- China's economic policies have allowed them to become the second-largest economy in the world. However, under Xi Jinping's leadership, China has shifted towards a more aggressive approach to expand its influence globally.
- China's Belt Road initiative is a strategy to invest in foreign countries, gain influence, and secure a constant flow of raw materials back to China. This economic expansion is part of their plan to become the primary global leader by 2049.
- The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) controls every aspect of Chinese citizens' lives, including social credit scores, DNA collection, and surveillance. This level of control raises concerns about individual freedoms and human rights.
- To contain China's influence and prevent conflicts, it is crucial for the United States and its allies to collaborate and leverage their resources and capabilities. Strengthening defense policies, reducing dependence on Chinese products, and making existing platforms more lethal are some of the strategies discussed.
- Technology plays a significant role in modern warfare, with the need for fast and efficient systems to detect and respond to threats. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing are essential tools in maintaining a strong defense.
