66: Jacob Helberg, Senior Advisor - Stanford University Cyber Policy Center

Over the last 6 months, without question, one of the most nuanced geopolitical relationships has made it to the forefront of mainstream media. This week we answer the question - what in the world is going on with the US and China. The tech community has taken a very strong perspective on US-China relations and there are a number of complex intertwined issues to unpack. Jacob Helberg is one of the most respected and thoughtful policy experts on this topic. Jacob currently serves as a Senior Advisor at the Stanford University Cyber Policy Center and is an Adjunct Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) where he is writing a forthcoming book on U.S. foreign policy and national security, technology policy and China. Previously Jacob served as a Senior Policy Advisor at Google. 

In this conversation we unpacked: (1) whether the US and China are in a Cold War, (2) the TikTok Ban and implications for future Executive Orders, (3) whether US-China relations are fracturing the global internet and (4) the plausibility of re-shoring supply chains.
