Andy Mok

Andy Mok, a senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, Neil Thomas, a fellow on Chinese politics at the Asia Society Policy Institute, and William Lee, chief economist at the Milken Institute, delve into the tactics of the U.S.-China trade war. They discuss China's ambitious long-term goals and the implications of recent concessions. The trio debates whether the U.S. is retreating or just pragmatically de-escalating, while exploring the precarious nature of the truce and the potential roadblocks posed by Taiwan and security issues.

Join Joseph Siracusa, a professor of Global Futures specializing in American history, and Andy Mok, a senior research fellow focused on US-China relations, as they dive into the escalating immigration conflict in California. They discuss the impact of federal raids on immigrant families and the controversial deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. The conversation highlights ideological divides reminiscent of historical conflicts, the fallout on political relationships, and the implications for upcoming elections. It's a compelling look at the current state of immigration politics.
