Richard Danzig joined me on a joint episode of the Acquisition Talk and China Talk podcasts to discuss US-China relations and military innovation. Richard is a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins APL, a former Secretary of the Navy, and much more than that. We traverse a number of subjects, including:

How the risk of war with China is reflected in trade policy

The problems regulators face in high-tech industries

Views on growing the US Navy to 500 ships

How US prime contracts differ from state-owned enterprises

Whether the Chinese are more risk-tolerant than the US

This podcast was produced by Eric Lofgren. Soundtrack by urmymuse: "reflections of u". You can follow us on Twitter @AcqTalk and find more information at AcquisitionTalk.com.
