Dmitri Alperovitch, author of World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the Twenty-First Century, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Dmitri discuss why he believes that Xi Jinping is preparing to invade Taiwan this decade, why a Chinese invasion would be disastrous for the U.S. and the world, how to apply the lessons from Vladimir Putin's preparations for his Ukraine invasion to the Taiwan question, and the strategies the U.S. and her allies can pursue to deter, and win if necessary, a conflict over Taiwan.
