From the episode description:

“In this hard-hitting episode of The China Desk, host Steve Yates sits down with Martin Capital CEO Rod D. Martin for a wide-ranging conversation on U.S.-China relations.

“From PayPal's early disruption to the dangers of authoritarian AI, Martin traces how America’s economic leverage — and spiritual clarity — can counter the CCP’s ambitions. He breaks down China’s demographic collapse, fragile real estate economy, and the strategic importance of Trump-era tariffs and rare earth independence. This isn’t just about trade. It’s about liberty, reciprocity, and the moral battle for the 21st century.”

Don’t miss my analysis on the Russiagate declassifications and what happens next.
