With Grant Newsham

GRANT NEWSHAM, Senior Fellow, Center for Security Policy, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies, Contributor, Asia Times, @NewshamGrant

• Grant Newsham talks about Huawei Technologies, Inc.: “It is best to think of it as not just a telecom company but the surveillance arm of the Chinese Communist Party”
• Newsham discusses China’s recent history of detaining western business executives and travelers as a means of pressuring foreign companies to provide them with favorable terms - a practice they also inflict on their own people
• Newsham talks about Wall Streets’ business dealings with the Chinese Communists: These are not just “useful idiots” - they are fully aware of what’s going on inside China and “just don’t care”
• Newsham: “…one gets the impression in this administration, in particular, that nothing is really worth defending”
• Is Xi Jinping “priming” the Chinese population for war?
