How stable is today’s world order — really?
In this episode of the Tao of Chao podcast, Philip Chao sits down with Dr. Brian Wong, Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong and geopolitical strategist, to unpack the evolving dynamics between the United States and China. Together, they explore the fragile nature of the so-called unipolar world, the emerging complexities of multipolarity, and why both America and China may be their own greatest obstacles.
Brian shares deep insights into:
- Why the U.S. still commands unparalleled global influence — despite internal fractures
- How China’s internal challenges and external pressures shape its strategic patience
- The critical need for safety nets, private sector revitalization, and structural reform within China
- The misconceptions about capitalism, populism, and elite influence in shaping today’s global tensions
- Why no grand strategy may be steering the escalating U.S.-China tariff war
This thought-provoking conversation bridges philosophy, geopolitics, and economics to offer listeners a broader perspective on where the world might be heading — and what it means for investors, policymakers, and everyday citizens alike.
