Why We Must Urge Peace with China and North Korea, with Hyun Lee and Author James Bradley
April 22, 2021
U.S. relations in the Western Pacific are at a crossroads, namely with China and the Koreas. The media presents China as a foe despite the U.S. spending nearly three times as much on the military and having 800 overseas military bases compared to one for China.
