China vs America: The Battle for Global Dominance Explained | Dan Wang interview

Patrick O'Shaughnessy interviews Dan Wang, author of "Breakneck," about China's rise as a technological superpower and its complex relationship with the United States. Wang explores China as an "engineering state" that excels at manufacturing and scaling innovations, contrasting it with America's "lawyerly society" that prioritizes debate but struggles with execution. The conversation covers China's manufacturing dominance, the Communist Party's social engineering practices, investment opportunities and risks in Chinese companies, and the future dynamics between these two superpowers. Wang draws from his six years living in China as a technology analyst, offering insights into everything from factory visits to the potential for conflict over Taiwan. This deep dive examines how China's breakneck development pace comes with significant trade-offs in human rights and individual freedoms.
