John Lee appears on Breaking Battle Grounds to discuss geopolitics between the United States and China. He explores key takeaways from his recent op-ed in The Hill, noting America’s power position in today’s world order. He pushes back against the narrative that the US’s power is degrading. Rather, he argues that the US is in a “much better position and China is in a far poorer position than it was a year and a half ago.”
