This week, Patrick and Tom turn from China’s military power to
its less visible, but no less powerful, tools of economic
dominance. Their guest, Sam Olsen is a geopolitical strategist
with decades of experience studying China who argues that the
West’s reliance on Chinese supply chains isn’t just about cheap
consumer goods, but runs through the very heart of our defence
industries. From rare earth minerals to advanced technology,
China has a stranglehold over the components needed to build the
weapons of the future. The result is a stark assessment: the real
question may not be whether the West could beat China in a war,
but whether it could fight one at all.
