Michael Sobolik: U.S. policymakers should leverage America’s democratic advantages over China

Michael Sobolik, author of “Countering China’s Great Game,” explains how the U.S. should exert dominance over the CCP through their two biggest weaknesses: human rights issues and freedom of information. “It’s easy to think that a lot of dictatorships are really strong because they wield power in a way that democracies don’t. But tyrants and despots rule the way they do not because they’re secure but because they’re afraid of their own people,” says Sobolik.
