China's dominance of global supply chains for many goods, including clean energy technology, is increasing concerns about resilience, security, and geopolitical influence in today's new era of great power competition. At the same time, efforts to curb China's dominance are raising concerns about the cost of clean energy at a time when its rapid deployment is needed.

So are we in a new Cold War with China? Should American policymakers try to decouple from China? And how should policymakers address China's supply chain dominance of the materials needed for the energy transition?

This week, host Jason Bordoff talks with Dmitri Alperovitch about his new book "World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the 21st Century." They discuss what the strategic challenges from China mean for American policymakers, how the U.S. can diversify critical supply chains away from China, and the security of America's energy infrastructure.
