How America Taught China to Build ft. Emmet Penney

Excited by the prospect of capitalizing on China’s rise in the 2010s, American firms—notably Apple—funneled billions of dollars of capital and masses of infrastructure into the nation without regard for geopolitics. Today, China has realized its opportunity to rival the U.S. as a regional power, using our investments as a springboard. This week, Claremont Lincoln Fellow Emmet Penney joins Spencer Klavan to evaluate how, as America reaches an inflection point at 250, it can recover a sense of national agency and avoid the creeping "historical nihilism" that threatens to infect both the Left and the Right.
