Episode Summary

Senior Fellow Michael Roberts joins the show to reveal exactly how far ahead China is of the rest of the world when it comes to shipping and why its a national security threat flying under the radar. The U.S. is falling behind and increasingly reliant on Chinese-connected supply chains that could be weaponized against us at a moment's notice if China had the desire. Roberts lays out how we got here, and walks through his recent report paving a way forward for the U.S. shipping industry.
