How is China turning trade into a tool of power? In this program, Evan S. Medeiros and Andrew Polk join Ka Zeng to unpack “China’s New Economic Weapons,” a deep dive report into how Beijing is using its economic influence to pressure governments, shape global markets, and pursue strategic goals.
Based on their recent report, the conversation explores how China’s toolkit of economic statecraft has evolved, why it matters for foreign companies and governments, and what it reveals about China's future role on the global stage. With real-world case studies and sharp analysis, the authors lay out the growing challenges for the U.S. and its allies—and what an effective response might look like.
