Are you prepared for a journey into the heart of China's strategic maneuverings?

Let me be your guide as we take a deep dive into China's intricate 'String of Pearls' strategy, a calculated play for influence, docking rights, and military base establishment. We explore this geopolitical chess game to reveal how China is reshaping the global balance of power, with India & (perhaps the United States) in its crosshairs. How does this unfold? Brad Thor's fictional novel Rising Tiger gives us a unique glimpse into this unfolding drama.

Key Points from the Episode:

  • We also unpack recent reports from the Wall Street Journal about China's ambitions to establish a military base in Equatorial Guinea, positioning itself to exert even more global power. 
  • Get a grasp on the layers of China's relationship with Equatorial Guinea, from massive infrastructure investments to military exchanges. This is not just about global politics - it's about understanding our place in an evolving world order.
  • The Center for Strategic and International Studies provides us with a great article that adds more facts and knowledge to what is happening with China's Navy.
  • As we navigate this complex landscape we find some unique insights from Brad Thor's last novel Rising Tiger and how Brad's introduces us to the 'String of Pearls' strategy
  • Brad's latest novel, Dead Fall, which was just released on Tuesday could provide an illuminating the path ahead in other parts of the world.  So strap in - this is a journey that promises to be as enlightening as it is exciting.
