In Episode 48, Dmitri Alperovitch maps the strategic signals around a potential conflict over Taiwan. He covers what Russia's invasion of Ukraine taught Beijing and how Xi Jinping has consolidated power. He also walks through China's cyber activity inside U.S. critical infrastructure. He explains why a blockade is not the same as an invasion, how deterrence can work across military and economic fronts, and why AI may accelerate both intrusion operations and defensive response. The conversation closes with a measured case for American advantages in a second Cold War.
