CogitAsia Podcast: South China Sea Dispute in Focus

On July 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment charging Sue Mi Terry with violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The indictment alleges activities that took place, in part, during a period in which Ms. Terry was employed by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. CSIS is not a party to this litigation and takes the allegations seriously. CSIS maintains strict policies to ensure full compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act and the intellectual independence of its scholarship. In light of these serious allegations, CSIS cannot verify the independence of the scholarship of this material containing the views of Ms. Terry and has therefore archived this content pending the resolution of the charges.

They discuss whether Beijing will indeed use its domestic security forces to subdue the protest movement—or whether they are bluffing.

Will Beijing Use Force?

This week, Jude and Andrew discuss last Sunday’s mass migration of Hong Kong protesters in a peaceful march, and what it might indicate for the future. They also analyze the growing role of social media within the conflict, as well as within potential cyber threats from China, and how the White House and U.S. Congress is—or isn’t—responding to it all.

Influence Operations

In this episode, Jude welcomes Joel Wuthnow. They discuss the history of China’s People’s Armed Police and what part the force might play in the expanding conflict. Joel is a research fellow at the Center of the Study for Chinese Military Affairs at National Defense University, as well as an adjunct professor at NDU and Georgetown University.

Hong Kong's Voices of Democracy

In 2019 we saw: global climate protests, a trade war between the U.S. and China, a disappointing conclusion from the latest COP, an IPO by the world’s largest oil company. What might next year bring? We asked Kevin Book (Clearview Energy Partners; CSIS), Liam Denning (Bloomberg Opinion Columnist), and Sarah Ladislaw (CSIS) to discuss 2019’s major energy and climate developments and to tell us what to watch for in 2020.
