🇨🇳🇺🇸 25 years of predicting China's collapse, and Beijing is still building warships... so who sold Washington the wrong map?
Peter Alexander, an American investor still doing business on the ground in Shanghai, tells Gordon Chang that his collapse calls lulled DC into doing nothing, and that China's slowdown is a deliberate cleanup.
Gordon puts real growth near zero, well below the official 4.5%, and owns the miss on his 2001 book:
"So, yeah, I admit I was wrong on timing."
From there it gets heated over Taiwan, rare earths and the Iran war, where both agree America had better win.
Watch for the closing round, when Peter says America is losing this race and Gordon answers with Beijing's own declaration of "people's war" on the United States.
