ReConsider China, Part I: trade war and beyond!
Ah, the US-China trade war! How exciting. So China is… our friend? Enemy? FRENEMY?
They… want to take over Asia? Taiwan? The US? THE WORLD? Are they a fair trading partner or a cheater? A reasonable place or a dictatorship?
There are many conceptions and misconceptions about China. And to be fair, it’s tough to process the thousands of years of history that stands behind Chinese culture and geopolitics. In this episode, we start delving into it all. This first episode will be an overview, touching on some helpful context. The next three episodes will cover the trade war with China, its economics, and history in greater depth.
The first three episodes are just Erik & Xander, but on the fourth Chris Stewart of the famous History of China podcast joins us to talk about…well…the history of China.
A map of China is provided below for reference. Maps help a lot – they often make confusing history quite clear.
