Chinese Communist Party leaders have said that China doesn't have a drug problem, but that's only because the CCP makes sure it doesn't have a drug problem. They don't mind, however, if the US and other countries China opposes have a drug problem. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss how China is silently winning the opium war with the US, how China is taking advantage of the US push for electric vehicles, and how US politicians are being controlled by Chinese money. Joining us in this episode is Anders Corr, the publisher of the Journal of Political Risk and principal at Corr Analytics. He’s also the author of the book The Concentration of Power: Institutionalization, Hierarchy, and Hegemony.
