What's next for the U.S. and China in a new era of confrontation
Season 2026
Episode 6
The U.S.-China relationship affects national security and our pocketbooks. They are the world’s most advanced militaries and largest economies. Now, China’s increasingly authoritarian leadership is purging officials while portraying itself as more reliable than the U.S. Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses that with Kurt Campbell, Randall Schriver, Yun Sun and Mchael Swaine.
