Kurt Campbell is the Deputy Assistant to the President and the White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs. ChinaTalk recently joined Campbell in Washington to discuss US-China relations and mark the podcast’s 300th episode.
We discuss:
- The nature of national power today;
- If China is peaking;
- How ideology impacts Beijing’s foreign policy;
- Campbell’s hopes and fears for the Biden administration’s Asia policy;
- Whether the US is still aiming to “maintain as large of a lead as possible” on chips and AI;
- How to think about the risk of and effectively deter military escalation;
- And the dark shadow of Tiananmen and its lasting impact on Chinese politics and US foreign policy.
