Ill Literacy: Books with Benson

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Michael Beckley of Tufts University and the American Enterprise Institute to discuss his new book, co-authored with Hal Brands, “Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China.” They discuss how China’s rise in global power is over, its leadership is insecure about its future, and how that insecurity about China’s coming decline could lead to a violent challenge to the existing global order. They also chat about how the United States can maintain a smart, sustainable approach to make sure it comes out ahead in this protracted global crisis.
