With Grant Newsham

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow, Japan Forum for Strategic Studies

• I spoke with Grant Newsham in a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges we face from the Chinese Communist Party, what specifically Donald Trump is going to have to do to defeat that mortal threat, and whether the people he is pulling in to work with him have a similar commitment to that mission. And what challenges they're going to face, especially if the Secretary of the Treasury turns out, as has been the case with his or her predecessors, of being a shell for Wall Street and an enabler of its ongoing efforts to underwrite the Chinese Communist Party, including its military buildup that threatens us with mass destruction.
