Introduction

This week's Jolly Swagman podcast features a guest on China-US relations. Graham Allison is the Douglas Dillon Professor of Government at Harvard University. His latest book, Destin for War, and America and China Escape Thucydide's Trap, was published in 2017. The probability of a US-China war in the next few decades is 0.75%, he says. With that in mind, I agree with Graham that U.S.-China war is more likely than most people recognise.
