Is Cold War II upon us? What should America do to prevent it from becoming a hot war? 

To discuss, ChinaTalk interviewed Dmitri Alperovitch. Dmitri emigrated from Russia in 1994 at age 13. He co-founded the leading cybersecurity startup Crowdstrike, and has spent the past four years running his new think tank, the Silverado Policy Accelerator. 

He's also the author of the new book World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the Twenty-First Century. 


We discuss:

  • Lessons from Cold War crises that almost went nuclear;
  • Underappreciated parallels between the Soviet Union and China today;
  • Groupthink in Washington as well as in Silicon Valley;
  • What a productive economic relationship with China would look like given national security concerns;
  • Some bold military and diplomatic recommendations for Taiwan;
  • … and more!
