CLSC Dialogues – Ep 19 – R. Evan Ellis – “China, the Illiberal Counter-Order, and the Role of Values in the Strategic Response”
CLSC DialoguesShow Notes
In this episode of CLSC Dialogues, COL Rich Butler interviews Dr. R. Evan Ellis on his recent article written for the Journal of Indo-Pacific Affairs titled, “China, the Illiberal Counter-Order, and the Role of Values in the Strategic Response.” This illuminating discussion covers what China is doing differently than the Soviets during the Cold War, and how new technology is playing a role in enabling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) objectives. The conversation then turns to the importance of these Chinese activities in the context of today, relative to Free World values. Why are Chinese activities across the globe undermining the Free World and the role of US, ally, and partner militaries, related to the wider role of governments in protecting those values. The podcast closes with insights into what the US population should pay attention to, and how we should think differently about investing in the future.
