55: I Don't Know Anything about the Second Cold War with Joseph Torigan
Update: 2025-07-03
Description
Have you heard about the Second Cold War, between the U.S. and China? It's like the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia. Only this time around, it’s not nuclear missiles, but TikTok algorithms and tariffs causing panic attacks in Washington.
In this episode, Paige visits the Stanford campus to interview Joseph Torigian, an associate professor at American University, and author of The Party's Interests Come First — an explicit biography of Xi Zhongxun, the leader's father (look, there was a surprising amount sex and violence!), about the Chinese Communist Party and the cultural war that they're waging.
What a run-on sentence! China's maybe winning! Bye-bye, Miss American Pie!
