Host of FTZ Andrew Cormier sits down with China expert Brig Gen (R) Dave Stilwell to discuss more broadly the attack vectors China has on the U.S. way of life, and how despite their thoughtful plan, they lack the American Spirit.

We discuss IP theft, influence on Hollywood, the social credit score, currency debasement and debt, Uyghur slavery and forced labor, TikTok, surveillance, supply chain vulnerabilities, One Belt One Road, the military threat on Taiwan, and lots more.

Here are a few articles we pointed to during the discussion:
