Reevaluating US-China Relations Through Public Choice Theory

The podcast discusses how public choice theory challenges the prevalent fearful and aggressive rhetoric surrounding US-China relations. Authors Ryan Young and Ethan Yang suggest that Americans should reevaluate their views by understanding the motivations of the government, the people in China, and how US policy should adapt. By applying public choice analysis to topics like the US promises to Taiwan, the podcast demonstrates that assumptions about China's intentions often overlook the complexities of political messaging and internal dynamics.
