Summary

As we assess the fallout from the Chinese Spy Balloon drama, the Mo News podcast takes a step back and looks into the state of US-China relations with Washington Post Columnist Josh Rogin.  In part one of Jill and Mosh’s conversation with Rogin, we talk about what China’s strategy was regarding the balloon and how it reflects the increasing tension between the two nations over the last few decades. We also talk about the ongoing conversation about Tik Tok and whether that presents a national security threat to Americans.  Rogin has covered China issues for several decades, including breaking news on the Wuhan Lab in 2020, and has a new book out on the topic called “Chaos Under Heaven.” You can catch him on Twitter @joshrogin on all things foreign policy. Separately, he also has an Instagram account @watchtheramen devoted to his love of ramen and watches.  This Week’s Sponsors: – Apostrophe - Only $5 For First Derm Visit + Medication Discount: Code: Monews – Athletic Greens – AG1 Powder + 1 year of free Vitamin D & 5 free travel packs – Boll & Branch Bedding & Sheets – 15% Off + Free Shipping | USE CODE: MONEWS – Please remember to subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review. – Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Mo news podcast. I'm Oshwanyu. We all watch the Chinese

0:09.3

spy balloon saga unfold over the last week. And Jill and I want to bring you some more

0:14.1

context on what the larger story is here. Today we present the first part of our interview

0:18.9

with Josh Rogan. He's a Washington Post columnist who has covered China for years, has some

0:23.4

incredible sources over there and has a book out on Chinese US relations during the Trump

0:29.0

administration. You may have seen him on CNN. You may have read him in the Washington Post

0:32.3

or Politico or none of the other publications. He worked for through the years. In this interview

0:36.7

today, we talked to Josh Rogan about what that balloon incident really tells us about the larger

0:42.0

US China relationship. It comes against the backdrop of 10 years at least of worsening relations.
