Summary

This episode, Jeremy and Kaiser head to the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, to speak with Professor Lyle Goldstein, the author of Meeting China Halfway: How to Defuse the Emerging US-China Rivalry. Lyle discusses how the United States could accommodate China’s rise without sacrificing American interests by using “cooperation spirals,” the opposite of an escalation spiral. His ideas are sure to surprise those who believe everyone connected to the U.S. military is a hawk. Please take a listen and send feedback to [email protected], or leave a review on iTunes.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cynical Podcast, a week in discussion in current affairs in China, produced in partnership with SubChina.
0:15.1	SubChina offers a feast of business, political, and cultural news about a nation that is reshaping the world.
0:21.2	We're coming to you this week from the campus of the U.S. Naval War College at Narragansett Bay,

0:37.5	Doing very, very well indeed.
0:38.7	My first trip to Rhode Island, and it's lovely.
0:41.4	Yeah, we were given a tour of the U.S. Naval History Museum here, and that was amazing, really cool.

1:12.1	and decision makers, as it offers what, to me, at least, some of the most informed and courageous
1:16.9	and original thinking, the bilateral relationship that I've come across. Indeed, the word that, I guess,
1:22.8	comes up most often when I raise the book with people, and I've been doing that very often with various
1:28.0	China Watcher types, is the word original. To me, that's what's most important. This does more than
