\u003cp\u003eMeia Nouwens, IISS Research Fellow for Chinese Defence Policy and Military Modernisation, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\u0022100%\u0022 height=\u0022300\u0022 scrolling=\u0022no\u0022 frameborder=\u0022no\u0022 allow=\u0022autoplay\u0022 src=\u0022https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/585735552\u0026color=%23ff5500\u0026auto_play=true\u0026hide_related=false\u0026show_comments=true\u0026show_user=true\u0026show_reposts=false\u0026show_teaser=true\u0026visual=true\u0022\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeia and Kori discuss the economic and intellectual property antagonisms of China\u0026rsquo;s military development, and the wider economic strategy implications of its goal to become a military world leader by 2030. China seems to have \u0026lsquo;activated the antibodies against [its] continued success\u0026rsquo;, suggests Kori, referring to the renationalisation of high-tech industries.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeia debunks the myth that China is inflexible because it is an authoritarian government and that, therefore, domestic public opinion doesn\u0026rsquo;t matter. She asserts that the Chinese public mood is a far greater threat to the Chinese Communist Party than the United States could ever be. Meia and Kori discuss how such assumptions can lead to poor policy decisions by foreign governments.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFavourite data visualisation:\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\u0022https://i.stack.imgur.com/tO3Rg.jpg\u0022\u003eXi Jinping\u0027s Thoughts\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading recommendations:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Ball,\u003ca href=\u0022https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_Water_Kingdom.html?id=M2p_vgAACAAJ\u0026amp;source=kp_book_description\u0026amp;redir_esc=y\u0022\u003e The Water Kingdom: A Secret History of China\u003c/a\u003e (London: Penguin Random House, 2016)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate of recording:\u003c/strong\u003e 19 February 2019\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheme music: \u0026lsquo;Safety in Numbers\u0026rsquo; by We Were Promised Jetpacks.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","className":"richtext reading--content font-secondary"}), document.getElementById("react_FMLGpEYZUiLQGugwAj29g"))});
