This is John Batchel, a conversation with Steve Yatesha to the Heritage Foundation about China's threats.

China is a bad actor. How does it work? Where is China undermining the U.S.? Steve gives a list.

It comes back to North America and South America as well, even goes all the way to Greenland.

Here's Steve to explain much more of this later with Gordon Chang as my colleague and co-host.

Well, China is very willfully enabling the crises that the United States is being called upon to invest tremendous time to manage and negotiate some kind of a settlement to.

So we are at the advent of a fifth year of the Russia's war against Ukraine, and China remains very central in that equation.

We have the evolution of the broader Middle East from the Abraham Accords 1.0 into something

that might be bigger and more durable, potentially. And China is very central to whether this

succeeds or drags on. And then, of course, in our own hemisphere, China is not absent from the

turmoil that has been experienced in Venezuela, Mexico, and Cuba, and also Greenland and Canada, for that matter.

The list is long.

We're in all these areas where we're seeking a grand reset to a golden age.

The role of China is there everywhere making it more difficult.
