Josef Gregory Mahoney is Professor of Politics and International Relations at East China Normal University, Executive Director of the International Center for Advanced Political Studies and Associate Editor of the US-based Journal of Chinese Political Science. The winner of multiple research awards he was formerly a university professor in the United States and public health officer with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). He appears frequently on global news broadcasts, Chinese state media and is a regular contributor to South China Morning Post. He also serves as Senior Research Fellow with the Institute for the Development of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. Today we talk about his disillusionment working in US government health services, his blacklisting as a professor in the US, his view of political polarization in America as a self-acknowledge Leftist, the difference between personal and private property, modern day slavery, why the CCP is not a monolith like many assume, the US strategy to contain China, climate change, Oil, de-dollarization, whether people are getting dumber and his optimism that the younger generations will fix the world… because they just might have to.
