Summary

In this week’s episode of Sinica, Kaiser chats with Bonnie Glaser in a crossover show that will appear both on Sinica and on the ChinaPower Podcast from CSIS, the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Bonnie is a well-known specialist on China’s security issues, and this week, we tour several locations where the Chinese military has evolving plans: the Korean Peninsula, Japan, the South China Sea, and Taiwan. Recommendations: Bonnie: Two books that examine how China’s history influences its current push for global power: Everything Under the Heavens: How the Past Helps Shape China's Push for Global Power, a book by Howard French, and The China Order: Centralia, World Empire, and the Nature of Chinese Power, by Wang Fei-ling. Bonnie says that the latter is a more academic book with amazing sourcing from Chinese documents, and the two books provide phenomenal knowledge on China’s historical relations with its neighbors when paired together. Kaiser: Chinese Characters, a podcast series on BBC Radio 4 by Rana Mitter, which explores the lives of people who were significant or emblematic throughout Chinese history. Notable personalities include Deng Xiaoping, Empress Wu Zetian, and China’s factory girls.

0:31.4	Glazer, Senior Advisor for Asia, and Director of the China Power Project. Bonnie's vast and deep knowledge of China security issues is pretty obvious, I think,
0:40.4	from the questions that she asks as host of the terrific China Power podcast,
0:44.9	which is a podcast produced here at CSIS, along with the...
0:47.9	How many now?

0:50.1	We have about two dozen here at CSIS.
0:53.0	Wow, that's amazing.
0:54.4	But anyway, this is the standout, I humbly assert, which I hope that you're all listening
0:59.7	to already.

1:13.0	Thanks for having me on the Seneca podcast, Kaiser. And thanks for having me on China Power. That's a cool
1:18.1	little crossover we're doing. Bonnie, let's start with the Korean Peninsula. Before this podcast,
1:23.7	you had protested that you don't know more than maybe the public reporting about the on-again,
