From the Party Congress in China to the Midterm US Elections

In this episode of THE TAKE, we look at what the outcomes from the latest Congress could mean for China’s people and the country’s relationship with the US.

Isaac Stone Fish says “Policy towards China is playing quite a large role in the US midterms because there’s a lot of worries in the United States, both about the Communist Party’s influence in America, but also the question over Taiwan. Both sides are perilously close to a war. If China decides to invade Taiwan, which it’s been very clear that it’s willing to do, the US very well might get involved in that war. And that could be a regional war. It could also very possibly be World War III. So it’s a major policy concern. It’s a major global issue, and it’s something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.”
