This is the full version of Jan Jekielek’s interview with Gordon Change. The interview was released on Epoch TV on August 16, 2025.
As the Trump administration gives China another 90-day extension on elevated tariffs, Jan Jekielek is sitting down with China analyst Gordon Chang to get his read on U.S.-China trade talks, signs of infighting in Beijing and trouble for Xi Jinping, and the recent stunning destruction of a Chinese coast guard vessel by a Chinese navy warship.
Gordon Chang is the author of "Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America."
