Can the U.S. and China avoid war? (part 2)

In this episode, we continue our discussion with Texas A&M University professor Christopher Layne about whether the U.S./China can ultimately avoid war.

Topics include:  Prospects for mutual accommodation... How Taiwan's dominance in advanced chip manufacturing presents a major risk.... China's strength as "restoration" of its great power status.... The idea of "threat inflation".... Whether the U.S. policy mindset leaves any room for steering away from a collision course. 

------>  OUR GUEST is Prof. Christopher Layne, University Distinguished Professor of International Relations, and Robert M. Gates Chair in National Security at Texas A&M.
