Melissa Chen on China’s Quiet Plan for World Dominance
Geopolitical analyst and China expert Melissa Chen joins this new Real Talk episode to break down how the Chinese Communist Party is waging a quiet war against the United States, not through armed invasion, but through influence, leverage, and sowing division through social media. We examine how China uses trade, technology, and cultural platforms like TikTok to shape American behavior, and why decades of U.S. policy helped empower the CCP. Melissa explains why failing to recognize the threat of the CCP could have lasting consequences for the future of the West.
