Amy returns from a trip to Eastern Europe to discuss the apparent collapse of Chinese tourism abroad and signs of some kind of food crisis in China. Jonty holds the Western Nations to task for failing to create meaningful development agreements with the developing world, leaving an opening for the Belt and Road initiative to exploit, while Billy describes the shockingly drastic measures China’s Disneyland took after a single Coronavirus case was detected and the news that Yahoo is leaving China. The team also delves into the growing arms race, the (stupid) idea of war in space and ways to counter the CCP’s use of economic coercion.
