Should the U.S. Fight China to Defend Taiwan?

In recent years, Washington has become increasingly concerned about an impending Chinese invasion of Taiwan. What are America's strategic interests in Taiwan? Should we fight China to defend the island if Beijing invades? What can we do to prevent a war? We discuss with Prof. Andrew Nathan, a distinguished scholar of Chinese politics and foreign policy at Columbia University.

U.S. should enter into peace negotiations with Russia

We discuss the latest updates of the Russia-Ukraine war, including incentives (or lack thereof) for Russia to enter into a ceasefire, danger of the war spilling over to Europe, implications for America and Europe should Ukraine fall, lack of evidence of impending Russian aggression beyond Ukraine, urgent need for the U.S. to enter into peace negotiations with Russia, what Rep. Thomas Massie calls a "psyop" by the intel community to get Speaker Mike Johnson to support Ukraine aid, and much more.

An “America First” China Policy?

What might President Trump’s China policy look like if he were to return to the White House? Will China invade Taiwan later this decade? How can we avoid armed conflict with China in the Taiwan Straits and in the South China Sea? How should America deal with its most serious strategic adversary? We discuss with Stephen Yates, senior fellow and chair of the China Policy Initiative at the America First Policy Institute.

Should We Ban TikTok?

The House of Representatives recently voted overwhelmingly to ban TikTok unless the company is divested from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, within six months. Lawmakers worry that the Chinese government, through TikTok, could get access to vast troves of American data and spread mass misinformation to the American public. We discuss the national security risks, the proper protections for TikTok's American users, and the irony of the app being popular enough to incur congressional wrath.

Should the US continue to aid Ukraine?

The U.S. Senate just passed a bill to provide another $60 billion to Ukraine’s war effort against Russia. Is it in America’s national interest to continue arming Ukraine? Is Washington helping to stop autocracy and safeguard the U.S.-led world order, or is it risking nuclear confrontation with Moscow and an expansion of the war into Europe? And why has the Ukraine issue revealed such deep divisions on the Right? In the first episode of this new foreign policy podcast, Ying Ma hosts a lively discussion with Stephen Bryen, a leading defense and technology expert; Doug Bandow, senior fellow at the CATO Institute; and Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of The National Interest.
