Why China Matters So Much

Michael Sobolik appears on The Michele Tafoya Podcast to discuss the ideological, economic, and military rivalry between the United States and China. He warns that China’s Belt and Road Initiative is evolving into a global tool for influence and militarization, while the Chinese Communist Party leverages platforms like TikTok to export censorship and control narratives. Sobolik argues the US needs to go on offense by targeting China’s ideological vulnerabilities and defending democracies like Taiwan.
