Summary

General Robert Spalding is a retired United States Air Force brigadier general after more than 25 years of service, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and an author.

China has injected itself into pretty much every area of life we care about. From media to technology, energy, food, transportation and even culture. But this strategy wasn't random, it turns out that their entire plan was detailed in a book from 1999 which General Spalding is very familiar with.

Expect to learn what's actually happening with the Shanghai lockdowns, how facial recognition and drones are able to automatically fine citizens who break laws, why American companies can't stand up to Chinese demands, why China's recent increase in military spending should worry everyone and much more...

0:00.0	What's happening people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is General Robert Spalding.
0:05.9	He's a retired United States Air Force Brigadier General after more than 25 years of service,
0:11.4	a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and an author. China has injected itself into pretty much
0:18.4	every area of life we care to care about, from media to technology, energy, food, transportation,
0:24.5	and even culture. But this strategy wasn't random. It turns out that their entire plan was
0:30.8	detailed in a book from 1999, which General Spalding is very familiar with. Expect to learn
0:36.9	what's actually happening with the Shanghai lockdowns, how facial recognition and drones
0:42.0	are able to automatically find citizens who break laws. Why American companies can't stand up
0:47.6	to Chinese demands, why China's recent increase in military spending should worry everyone,
0:53.1	and much more. It really does blow my mind that China and their plan for future global domination
1:00.4	is just this big, looming elephant in the world that no one appears to care about actually
1:07.9	pointing a finger at. Whilst everybody's accusing everyone else of misogyny or closet homophobia,
1:13.6	no one's actually bothered about the fact that there is a huge superpower on the other side of
1:18.1	the world slowly gearing up to take over everything. And the fact that there is a playbook that was

1:29.3	coordinated than the West. In other news, this episode is brought to you by ManScape and their
1:36.1	lawnmower 4.0. It is the ultimate ball and bodyhair trimmer ever created, featuring a cutting-edge
1:42.4	ceramic blade to reduce grooming accidents and 90-minute batteries so you can take a longer shave,
1:47.0	waterproof technology which allows you to groom in the shower and an LED light,
1:50.7	which illuminates grooming areas for a closer and more precise trim. They've also upgraded to a
1:55.0	7,000 RPM motor with quiet struck technology, lengths in sizes 1 to 4, and it's got a wireless
2:01.6	charging system using electromagnetic induction to help the battery last even longer. All of this
