Checks and Balance: The great fall of China’s balloon

Checks and Balance from The Economist - Podcast autorstwa The Economist

“If China threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country.” In his state-of-the-union speech earlier this week, Joe Biden promised to deal with any threat from China. The House has voted unanimously to condemn the CCP for flying a spy balloon over America. What’s next for Sino-American relations?  Congressman Darin LaHood shares the plans of a new select committee on China. We go back to the time a plane rather than a balloon caused a crisis. And The Economist’s David Rennie brings us the view from Beijing.  John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon.  You can now find every episode of Checks and Balance in one place and sign up to our weekly newsletter.
