Is Cold War II upon us? What should America do to prevent it from becoming a hot war? 

To discuss, ChinaTalk interviewed Dmitri Alperovitch. Dmitri emigrated from Russia in 1994 at age 13. He co-founded the leading cybersecurity startup Crowdstrike, and has spent the past four years running his new think tank, the Silverado Policy Accelerator. 

He's also the author of the new book *World on the Brink: *)*How America Can Beat China in the Race for the Twenty-First Century. *

We discuss:

  • Lessons from Cold War crises that almost went nuclear;

  • Underappreciated parallels between the Soviet Union and China today;

  • Groupthink in Washington as well as in Silicon Valley;

  • What a productive economic relationship with China would look like given national security concerns;

  • Some bold military and diplomatic recommendations for Taiwan;
