Crossroads with JOSHUA PHILIPP: Live Q&A: China’s Space Weapons, and the Mystery of Its Claimed Economic Growth

Support Josh and Crossroads: https://www.patreon.com/Crossroads_Josh A recent Pentagon report detailed China’s plans for space weapons, including anti-satellite lasers and robots as well as other systems. The issue has been getting more attention in the news lately, as tensions with China begin to heat up among many countries. Yet how viable are these weapons, and what’s their background in military writings? And the Chinese government says its economy grew 3.2 percent in the second quarter of 2020, despite the pandemic that had cities locked down across the country, a flurry of natural disasters, and manufacturing leaving the country. So how reliable are these numbers, and what can they tell us about the state of the Chinese economy. In this live Q&A with Joshua Philipp, host of Crossroads, we’ll be looking at these questions and more. #SpaceCompetition2020 #ChinaMysteriousEconomicGrowth #LiveQA
