Gordon Chang: A War With China Could Start INSIDE America

Episode Description

The nightmare scenario has long been the same: China makes a move on Taiwan, the U.S. gets pulled into a war in the Pacific, and the world watches two superpowers collide thousands of miles from American soil. Gordon Chang thinks that may be the wrong way to look at it. In this interview, he argues that if war comes, China could try to hit the United States first — inside the country using vulnerabilities America already has. And Chang thinks this could happen soon with Xi Jinping's "window of opportunity" fast closing. In Part 1 of a two-parter, Chad sits down with Chang to unpack what China;s master plan, what could trigger a first attack, and what a potential U.S.-China war may look like.
