The Remnant offers two guests in one today, as AEI scholars Hal Brands and Michael Beckley join the program to discuss their new book, Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China. With the United States and China running a “superpower marathon,” how can we expect the competition to resolve, and is there an appropriate historical analogy for China’s current state? Furthermore, what foreign policy should we pursue toward China? Can China make a stable transition to democracy? And will Michael go down in Remnant history as the only guest to join from the back of an Uber?

Show Notes:

- Hal and Michael’s new book, Danger Zone

- Hal and Michael: “What Does China Want?”

- Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson’s Why Nations Fail

- Hal: “The Dangers of China’s Decline”
