Zhou Bo, a retired senior colonel in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, joins Mosaic’s global political risk leader Finn McGuirk, for the latest special episode in association with Mosaic Insurance. Colonel Zhou Bo is a senior fellow at the Center for International Security and Strategy, Tsinghua University, a distinguished fellow of the Global Governance Institution, and a regular PLA speaker at the Munich Security Conference and the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue. The title of his new book, published in March 2025, is perhaps the biggest question of the age, and the subject of this fascinating discussion between these two geopolitical risk experts.
