US China Relations - a New Direction

US China Relations - a New Direction

Elbridge Colby served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy for the first two years of the Trump Administration. 

He will be my guest on Tuesday February 1 to discuss his new book, Strategy of Denial.  

Make sure to tune in to this episode in our continuing discussion of International Relations and America’s re-assessment of the strategic relationship with China. 

Ever since Henry Kissinger’s clandestine trip to Beijing in 1971 to re-open US relations with the PRC and President Nixon’s dramatic 1972 trip to China, the relationship of the two countries has been at the center of our Foreign Policy. 

But US China relations took a dramatic turn during the Trump years. Bridge will discuss his book and how we should be managing this critical relationship.
