Summary

After decades of unprecedented economic growth China’s rise seems to be slowing down. Has the nation’s power reached its peak? What would this mean for the country, and for the rest of the world? Alex Andreou asks Michael Beckley, associate professor of political science at Tufts University and author of Unrivaled: Why America Will Remain the World’s Sole Superpower, in The Bunker. • “The U.S. has the power to shape the international system in ways that China can’t match.” – Michael Beckley • “The failure of China’s zero COVID policy is emblematic of a bigger issue” – Michael Beckley • “China is at risk of a deflation debt cycle. It’s a fundamentally broken economic model.” – Michael Beckley www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex Andreou. Producer: Eliza Davis Beard. Audio production: Simon Williams.
