CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: The Biggest Realignment in the US-China Relationship Since Nixon, Feat. Graham Webster
How one of the world’s most important geopolitical relationships came to be what it is in 2020.
This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace.
The U.S.-China relationship has an outsized impact on global economics and politics. As that relationship comes even more into focus in the wake of COVID-19, this episode provides a historical primer.
Graham Webster is editor-in-chief of the Stanford–New America DigiChina Project at the Stanford University Cyber Policy Center. He’s also a China digital economy fellow at the New America think tank.
In this episode, Webster explains:
- Why the relationship with the U.S. has been at the forefront of Chinese policy since the People’s Republic of China was formed, but has flitted in and out of America’s focus.
- Why the first most significant period in the U.S.-China relationship came between the late 1960s and 1970s, as the U.S.-China relationship normalized.
- How Tiananmen Square undermined but didn’t destroy the relationship.
- Why George W. Bush came into office with an intention to focus on China but got distracted in the wake of 9/11.
- Why China has spent the last decade becoming increasingly illiberal.
- How the rise of social media contributed to the shift.
- Why China and U.S. policy is as much a reflection of domestic self-identity in both countries as it is a bilateral political question.
- Why China’s human rights abuses present such a challenge.
- How COVID-19 changes the relationship.

Protests can be powerful tools to push for change, but other forces, from corporations to militias, intelligence agencies and more also seek to use the power of protest against itself. Listen in to learn more about the history -- and future -- of the agent provocateur.

Emmanuel Macron again finds himself changing course after members of his party defect. And move over, doctors: literature by nurses is at last hitting bookshelves.
