Peter Alexander, an American consultant with 30 years in China, breaks down the fundamental misunderstandings driving US-China tensions. Alexander argues America fails to grasp that China operates as a 5,000-year civilization rather than a typical nation state, with Xi Jinping functioning more like a dynastic emperor. The conversation covers China's strategic gold accumulation through the Shanghai Gold Exchange, America's dangerous supply chain dependency on rare earths and manufacturing, and why current tensions resemble pre-WWI UK-Germany relations more than Cold War dynamics. Alexander explains China's Belt and Road Initiative as dollar diversification strategy, analyzes recent military parades and SCO meetings, and discusses Taiwan's real strategic importance. He offers solutions including joint ventures, deregulation, and treating China as an equal partner rather than adversary.
