#66 Hong Kong, China, and the nationalist moment w/ Jake Werner
Added 2019-11-08 16:19:03 +0000 UTCJake Werner joins me to discuss the ideological makeup of the Hong Kong protest movement, the material and cultural grievances that gave rise to the movement, the increasing nationalism of the Chinese ruling elite, how Chinese economic development can be characterised as "cheating at a rigged game" and, finally we discussed the increasing likelihood of armed conflict between China, the US and US regional allies.
